__WARN() used to just call __WARN_TAINT(TAINT_WARN)

But a call to printk() has been added in the commit identified below
to print a "---- cut here ----" line.

This change only applies to warnings using __WARN(), which means
WARN_ON() where the condition is constant at compile time.
For WARN_ON() with a non constant condition, the additional line is
not printed.

In addition, adding a call to printk() forces GCC to add a stack frame
and save volatile registers. Powerpc has been using traps to implement
warnings in order to avoid that.

So, call __WARN_TAINT(TAINT_WARN) directly instead of using __WARN()
in order to restore the previous behaviour.

If one day powerpc wants the decorative "---- cut here ----" line, it
has to be done in the trap handler, not in the WARN_ON() macro.

Fixes: 6b15f678fb7d ("include/asm-generic/bug.h: fix "cut here" for WARN_ON for __WARN_TAINT architectures")
