Subject: [PATCH 4.19 37/58] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Remove inappropriate usage of WARN_ON()

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit d9d5420273997664a1c09151ca86ac993f2f89c1 ]

We should not trigger a warning when a memory allocation fails. Remove
the WARN_ON().

The warning is constantly triggered by syzkaller when it is injecting
faults:
