[PATCH] CAN: make checking in can_rcv less restrictive

From: Michael Olbrich <m.olbrich@pengutronix.de>

Checking for can frame format in can_rcv() is too restrictive. BUG_ON is way too
heavy for the case that the can interface probably received a can frame with
malicious format. Further it can be used for DDOS attack since BUG_ON can lead
to kernel panic. Hence we turn this to WARN_ON instead.
