[PATCH 6.1.y] xfs: remove WARN when dquot cache insertion fails

[Abhinav Jain]

commit 4b827b3f305d ("xfs: remove WARN when dquot cache insertion fails")

Disk quota cache insertion failure doesn't require this warning as
the system can still manage and track disk quotas without caching the
dquot object into memory. The failure doesn't imply any data loss or
corruption.

Therefore, the WARN_ON in xfs_qm_dqget_cache_insert function is aggressive
and causes bot noise. I have confirmed there are no conflicts and also
tested the using the C repro from syzkaller:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=15406772280000

Please do let me know if I missed out on anything as it's my first
backport patch.

You lost all of the ownership and original signed-off-by attributes for
the commit :(

Please work with the xfs developers if they wish to see this backported
or not, that's up to them.

thanks,

I am tagging XFS maintainers so that they can confirm the same. If there
is a go ahead, only then I will submit a v2 retaining the original
signed-off-by attributes.

Thanks,

Hi Abhinav,

Thanks for your message! Fixing bot noise from WARNs isn't a high
priority for me for patches to backport to stable, but I'm currently
working on a set anyways so I'll throw this patch in. No need to
resend anything.
