[lvc-project] [PATCH] net: Avoid calling WARN_ON() on -ENOMEM in __dev_change_net_namespace()

[Ivan Abramov]

It's pointless to call WARN_ON() in case of an allocation failure in
device_rename(), since it only leads to useless splats caused by deliberate
fault injections, so avoid it.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
