[PATCH v4 4/4] mm/vmap: switch to WARN_ON() and move it under unlink_va()

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Mon May 27 2019 - 11:22:21 EST


Trigger a warning if an object that is about to be freed is
detached. We used to have a BUG_ON(), but even though it is
considered as faulty behaviour that is not a good reason to
break a system.
