kobject: provide more diagnostic info for kobject_add_internal() failures

1/ convert open-coded KERN_ERR+dump_stack() to WARN(), so that automated
   tools pick up this warning.

2/ include the 'child' and 'parent' kobject names.  This information was
   useful for tracking down the case where scsi invoked device_del() on a
   parent object and subsequently invoked device_add() on a child.  Now the
   warning looks like:

     kobject_add_internal failed for target8:0:16 (error: -2 parent: end_device-8:0:24)
     Pid: 2942, comm: scsi_scan_8 Not tainted 3.3.0-rc7-isci+ #2
     Call Trace:
