Aleksandr Nogikh ecc04463d1 kcov: don't generate a warning on vm_insert_page()'s failure
vm_insert_page()'s failure is not an unexpected condition, so don't do
WARN_ONCE() in such a case.

Instead, print a kernel message and just return an error code.

This flaw has been reported under an OOM condition by sysbot [1].

The message is mainly for the benefit of the test log, in this case the
fuzzer's log so that humans inspecting the log can figure out what was
going on.  KCOV is a testing tool, so I think being a little more chatty
when KCOV unexpectedly is about to fail will save someone debugging
time.

We don't want the WARN, because it's not a kernel bug that syzbot should
report, and failure can happen if the fuzzer tries hard enough (as
above).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
