[PATCH] fuse: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() from fuse_iomap_writeback_{range,submit}()

The usage of WARN_ON_ONCE doesn't seem to be necessary in these functions.
All fuse_iomap_writeback_submit() call sites already ensure that wpc->wb_ctx
contains a valid fuse_fill_wb_data.

Function fuse_iomap_writeback_range() also seems to always be called with a
valid value. But even if this wasn't the case, there would be a crash
before this WARN_ON_ONCE() because ->wpa is being accessed before it.

As I'm saying above, I _think_ there's no need for these WARN_ON_ONCE().
However, if I'm wrong and they are required, I believe there's a need for
a different patch (I can send one) to actually prevent a kernel crash.
