While Rusty Russell wants the return value of sysfs_create_file
ignored, it's annotated '__must_check'. Tejun Heo made the annotaion
and suggests just using WARN_ON_ONCE(). Meanwhile the compiler warns that
the 'err' variable is set but unused. This patch uses Tejun's
suggestion. This eliminates the warning, satisfies the required check,
and warns if sysfs_create_file actually ever fails (something that Rusty
says should never happen when this code runs).
