bpf: Do not WARN in bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action()
[ Upstream commit 2cbad989033bff0256675c38f96f5faab852af4b ]
The WARN_ONCE() in bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() can be triggered by
any bugged program, and even attaching a correct program to a NIC
not supporting the given action.
The resulting splat, beyond polluting the logs, fouls automated tools:
e.g. a syzkaller reproducers using an XDP program returning an
unsupported action will never pass validation.
Replace the WARN_ONCE with a less intrusive pr_warn_once().
