This removed a significant amount of information from an admin who might be missing that his system was having NETDEV WATCHDOGs, esp since there is no other global counter available to count these events. simply check the __warned flag and print a simple version of the message without the full stack dump if the (kerneloops related) WARN_ON_ONCE has already logged the hardware type and one hang.
