driver core: Add device probe log helper dev_warn_probe()
Some drivers can still provide their functionality to a certain extent
even when some of their resource acquisitions eventually fail.  In such
cases, emitting errors isn't the desired action, but warnings should be
emitted instead.

To solve this, introduce dev_warn_probe() as a new device probe log helper,
which behaves identically as the already existing dev_err_probe(), while it
produces warnings instead of errors.  The intended use is with the resources
that are actually optional for a particular driver.

While there, copyedit the kerneldoc for dev_err_probe() a bit, to simplify
its wording a bit, and reuse it as the kerneldoc for dev_warn_probe(), with
the necessary wording adjustments, of course.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
