I wonder if you know why the warning is there in the first place...

In my opinion we could remove the warning completely because:

1) Having orphan items means we could have files to delete (link count
of 0) and dealing with such cases could make send fail for several
reasons.
If this happens, it's not longer a problem since the following commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=46b2f4590aab71d31088a265c86026b1e96c9de4

2) Orphan items used to indicate previously unfinished truncations, in
which case it would lead to send creating corrupt files at the
destination (i_size incorrect and the file filled with zeroes between
real i_size and stale i_size).
We no longer need to create orphans for truncations since commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f7e9e8fc792fe2f823ff7d64d23f4363b3f2203a

I think that information needs to be in the changelog. And, as said
before, I think the warning could go away completely.

Thanks.
