I don't like that. Customers do not run with panic_on_warn. If this
fails in our test environment, that's actually great (it means something
went very wrong). pr_warn_ratelimited is worse than WARN_ONCE regarding
intentional spamming.

blk_cbt_ioctl() reads abi_version straight from the ioctl argument and
WARN_ONCE()s if it does not match CBT_ABI_VERSION. The value is fully
userspace-controlled, so any process issuing a BLKCBT* ioctl with a
stale/newer struct taints the kernel, dumps a backtrace, and can panic a
host that runs with panic_on_warn. Downgrade to pr_warn_ratelimited();
the -EOPNOTSUPP return is the actual contract.

Feature: cbt: changed block tracking (for backup)
