powerpc/code-patching: Use WARN_ON and fix check in poking_init
BUG_ON() when failing to initialise the code patching window is unnecessary, and use of BUG_ON is discouraged. We don't set poking_init_done in this case, so failure to init the boot CPU will result in a strict RWX error when a following patch_instruction uses raw_patch_instruction. If it only fails for later CPUs, they won't be onlined in the first place. The return value of cpuhp_setup_state() is also >= 0 on success, so check for < 0.
