icmp: Add counters for rate limits


There are multiple ICMP rate limiting mechanisms:

* Global limits: net.ipv4.icmp_msgs_burst/icmp_msgs_per_sec
* v4 per-host limits: net.ipv4.icmp_ratelimit/ratemask
* v6 per-host limits: net.ipv6.icmp_ratelimit/ratemask

However, when ICMP output is limited, there is no way to tell
which limit has been hit or even if the limits are responsible
for the lack of ICMP output.

Add counters for each of the cases above. As we are within
local_bh_disable(), use the __INC stats variant.

Example output:

 # nstat -sz "*RateLimit*"
 IcmpOutRateLimitGlobal          134                0.0
 IcmpOutRateLimitHost            770                0.0
 Icmp6OutRateLimitHost           84                 0.0
