ve_check_trusted_exec()/ve_check_trusted_mmap() protect the host, but
the WARN(1, ...) is too much here:
* it taints the kernel while this is not a kernel bug which we beed to
debug and fix
* the backtrace only shows the exec/mmap path, which is already known
* on a host booted with panic_on_warn a denied exec takes the host down
The SIGSEGV and the core dump of the offending process are enough to
report and investigate such an attempt. Downgrade the WARN() to
pr_warn(), keeping the message, the rate limiting and the signal.
Fixes: fc7157b84c32 ("trusted/ve/mmap: Protect from unsecure library load from CT image")
Fixes: cc218b70c6b4 ("trusted/ve/fs/exec: Send SIGSEGV to a process trying to execute untrusted files")
Feature: security/fs: tructed exec feature
