[PATCH] WARN(): add a \n to the message printk

[Arjan van de Ven]

many (most) users of WARN() don't have a \n at the end of their string;
as is understandable from the API usage point of view. But this means
that the backend needs to add this \n or the warning message
gets corrupted (as is seen by kerneloops.org).
