Use WARN_ON() instead of BUG_ON(), as the WARN_ON() produces a backtrace
without crashing the kernel.
Issue found by checkpatch.pl.

If this change was as simple as this, we would have done it already :(
You have to properly handle this error that used to crash the system, by
properly correctly for it and continuing on. You can't just log it and
keep on going, right?
