You should have marked this change in the changelog and then marked the
Reviewed-by tags to be valid only to the previous version of this
patch.

It's not a fair game to claim a patch to be "Reviewed-by" at the
current version, when you've made changes that were not agreed upon.

So that's some meta-review. Back to the actual review;

Which codepath was hitting the GEM_BUG_ON? Wondering if it would be
cleaner to avoid the call to this function on that single codepath.
