The ___ratelimit() function simply returns zero ("do ratelimiting")
if the trylock fails, but does not adjust the ->missed field.  This
means that the resulting dropped printk()s are dropped silently, which
could seriously confuse people trying to do console-log-based debugging.
Therefore, increment the ->missed field upon trylock failure.
