Drop the WARN_ON(1), as he stack trace is not appropriate, since it is
triggered by file system corruption, and it misleads users into
thinking there is a kernel bug.  In addition, change the message
displayed by ext4_error() to make it clear that this is a file system
corruption problem.

I have tested this and it's working fine. I am not seeing any kernel 
stack/call traces.
