kobject: don't use WARN for registration failures

Browse Source 
commit 3e14c6abbf upstream.

This WARNING proved to be noisy. The function still returns an error
and callers should handle it. That's how most of kernel code works.
Downgrade the WARNING to pr_err() and leave WARNINGs for kernel bugs.
