exfat: limit log print for IO error

[ Upstream commit 6dfba108387bf4e71411b3da90b2d5cce48ba054 ]

For exFAT filesystems with 4MB read_ahead_size, removing the storage device
when the read operation is in progress, which cause the last read syscall
spent 150s [1]. The main reason is that exFAT generates excessive log
messages [2].

After applying this patch, approximately 300,000 lines of log messages
were suppressed, and the delay of the last read() syscall was reduced
to about 4 seconds.

write(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 131072) = 131072 <0.000120>
read(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 131072) = 131072 <0.000032>
write(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 131072) = 131072 <0.000119>
read(4, 0x7fccf28ae000, 131072)         = -1 EIO (Input/output error) <150.186215>
