[PATCH] usb: core: urb: change a dev_WARN() to dev_err() for syzbot

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Fri Jan 31 2020 - 00:07:17 EST


We changed this from dev_err() to dev_WARN() in commit 0cb54a3e47cb
("USB: debugging code shouldn't alter control flow").

The difference between dev_WARN() and dev_err() is that dev_WARN()
prints a stack trace and if you have panic on OOPS enabled then it leads
to a panic. The dev_err() function just prints the error message.

Back in the day we didn't have usb emulators fuzz testing the kernel
so dev_WARN() didn't cause a problem for anyone, but these days the
dev_WARN() interferes with syzbot so let's change this to a dev_err().
