[PATCH] knfsd: svcrpc: WARN() instead of returning an error from svc_take_page

Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it
succeeded.  So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error.  This would
have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem.

If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we
overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding.

While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here and
create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG().
