From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
After request_module(), nothing is stopping the module from being
unloaded until someone takes a reference to it via try_get_module().
The WARN_ONCE() in get_fs_type() is thus user-reachable, via userspace
running 'rmmod' concurrently.
Since WARN_ONCE() is for kernel bugs only, not for user-reachable
situations, downgrade this warning to pr_warn_once().
Keep it printed once only, since the intent of this warning is to detect
a bug in modprobe at boot time. Printing the warning more than once
wouldn't really provide any useful extra information.
Fixes: 41124db869b7 ("fs: warn in case userspace lied about modprobe return")
