rescan_partitions(): make device capacity errors non-fatal

Herton Krzesinski reports that the error-checking changes in
04ebd4ae ("block/ioctl.c and
fs/partition/check.c: check value returned by add_partition") cause his
buggy USB camera to no longer mount.  "The camera is an Olympus X-840.
The original issue comes from the camera itself: its format program
creates a partition with an off by one error".

Buggy devices happen.  It is better for the kernel to warn and to proceed
with the mount.
