Subject: [PATCH net] net/sched: Don't print dump stack in event of transmission timeout

In event of transmission timeout, the drivers are given an opportunity
to recover and continue to work after some in-house cleanups.

Such event can be caused by HW bugs, wrong congestion configurations
and many more other scenarios. In such case, users are interested to
get a simple  "NETDEV WATCHDOG ... " print, which points to the relevant
netdevice in trouble.

The dump stack printed later was added in the commit b4192bbd85d2
("net: Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the transmit timeout function") to give
extra information, like list of the modules and which driver is involved.

While the latter is already printed in "NETDEV WATCHDOG ... ", the list
of modules rarely needed and can be collected later.

So let's remove the WARN_ONCE() and make dmesg look more user-friendly in
large cluster setups.
