Do not WARN when attaching event probe to non-existent event

Browse source 
If the user tries to attach an event probe (eprobe) to an event that does
 not exist, it will trigger a warning. There's an error check that only
 expects memory issues otherwise it is considered a bug. But changes in the
 code to move around the locking made it that it can error out if the user
 attempts to attach to an event that does not exist, returning an -ENODEV.
 As this path can be caused by user space putting in a bad value, do not
 trigger a WARN.
