[ Upstream commit fe513c2ef0a172a58f158e2e70465c4317f0a9a2 ]
static_call_module_notify() triggers a WARN_ON(), when memory allocation fails in __static_call_add_module().
That's not really justified, because the failure case must be correctly handled by the well known call chain and the error code is passed through to the initiating userspace application.
A memory allocation fail is not a fatal problem, but the WARN_ON() takes the machine out when panic_on_warn is set.
Replace it with a pr_warn().
