Subject: can: af_can: can_rcv(): replace WARN_ONCE by pr_warn_once

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <[email protected]>

commit 8cb68751c115d176ec851ca56ecfbb411568c9e8 upstream.

If an invalid CAN frame is received, from a driver or from a tun interface, a Kernel warning is generated.

This patch replaces the WARN_ONCE by a simple pr_warn_once, so that a kernel, bootet with panic_on_warn, does not panic. A printk seems to be more appropriate here.
