These commits use WARN_ON_ONCE() and kill the offending processes when
deprecated and unknown flags are encountered:

commit c17a6ff93213 ("rseq: Kill process when unknown flags are encountered in ABI structures")
commit 0190e4198e47 ("rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags")

The WARN_ON_ONCE() triggered by userspace input prevents use of
Syzkaller to fuzz the rseq system call.

Replace this WARN_ON_ONCE() by pr_warn_once() messages which contain
actually useful information.

Hi Peter,

Should I resubmit this or can you simply pick up the Acked-by from Paul McKenney and Mark Rutland and route this through the tip tree ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
