Make the printk() [bfs "printf" macro] seem less severe by changing "WARNING:" to "NOTE:". <asm-generic/bug.h> warns us about using WARNING or BUG in a format string other than in WARN() or BUG() family macros. bfs/inode.c is doing just that in a normal printk() call, so change the "WARNING" string to be "NOTE".
