Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 4/7] KVM: x86: degrade WARN to pr_warn_ratelimited

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 3f16a5c318392cbb5a0c7a3d19dff8c8ef3c38ee ]

This warning can be triggered easily by userspace, so it should certainly not
cause a panic if panic_on_warn is set.
