sysfs: turn WARN() into pr_warn()
It's not good to crash the machine if panic_on_warn() is set just because someone made a stupid mistake of trying to create a sysfs file with the same name of an existing one. This makes the automated testing tools a lot harder to find the real bugs in the kernel. So just print a warning out and dump the stack to get the attention of the developer that they did something foolish. Then keep on trucking, as this should not be a fatal error at all.
