[PATCH] drm/vkms: Don't warn hrtimer_forward_now failure.

Commit 3a0709928b172a41 ("drm/vkms: Add vblank events simulated by
hrtimers") introduced ret_overrun variable. And that variable was an
unused-but-set-variable until commit 09ef09b4ab95dc40 ("drm/vkms:
WARN when hrtimer_forward_now fails") added WARN_ON(ret_overrun != 1).

Now, syzbot is hitting this WARN_ON() using a simple reproducer that
does open("/dev/dri/card1") followed by ioctl(DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK),
and a debug printk() patch says that syzbot is getting

   output->vblank_hrtimer.base->get_time()=93531904774 (which is uptime)
   output->period_ns=0
   ret_overrun=216994

. I can't understand what "verify the hrtimer_forward_now return" in
that commit wants to say. hrtimer_forward_now() must return, and the
return value of hrtimer_forward_now() is not a boolean. Why comparing
with 1 ? Anyway, this failure is not something that worth crashing the
system. Let's remove the ret_overrun variable and WARN_ON() test.
