This is not an appropriate commit message to change an invariant. The
case was true, and it apparently no longer holds. At the very least the
commit should have the SHA which changed the invariant, and preferably
an explanation as to why the invariant no longer holds ("is bogus"). I

The reason you have given to remove this WARN_ON can be used for any
assertion we ever hit and simply reiterates what the patch does.
