Subject: [PATCH v2] vfio: Use WARN_ON for low-probability allocation failure issue in vfio_pci_bus_notifier

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure.

This is a blocking notifier callback, so errno isn't a proper return
value. Use WARN_ON to small allocation failures.

v2: Use WARN_ON instead of return errno
