This warning probably needs ratelimiting.

Also this flow looks a little odd.  I'd redo the whole function with a
clear bad_mem case:

	if (unlikely(is_bad_pmem(&pmem->bb, sector, len))) {
		blk_status_t rc = pmem_clear_poison(pmem, pmem_off, len);

		if (rc != BLK_STS_OK) {
			pr_warn("%s: failed to clear poison\n", __func__);
			return rc;
		}
	}
	flush_dcache_page(page);
	write_pmem(pmem_addr, page, page_off, len);
	return BLK_STS_OK;
