Subject: [PATCH 2/3] livepatch: Remove duplicate warning about missing reliable stacktrace support

WARN_ON_ONCE() could not be called safely under rq lock because
of console deadlock issues.

It can be simply removed. A better descriptive message is written
in klp_enable_patch() when klp_have_reliable_stack() fails.
The remaining debug message is good enough.
