This is a sign of a logical error, and the print is likely to be
ignored/lost in the noise. So I think the response should aid to help
the developer hitting this to resolve the issue.

So I think this is more visible and more useful as:

	if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(path)))
		return -EINVAL;


PS. Doesn't path->num_nodes == 0 fall in this category as well? When
would you have a path object with no nodes passed to this function?
