ratelimit: Warn if ->interval or ->burst are negative
Currently, ___ratelimit() treats a negative ->interval or ->burst as
if it was zero, but this is an accident of the current implementation.
Therefore, splat in this case, which might have the benefit of detecting
use of uninitialized ratelimit_state structures on the one hand or easing
addition of new features on the other.
