Hmm, I definitely don't think we "need" to, but it's not a bad idea.  The shadow
MMU kinda sorta WARNs on this scenario:

	if (!was_rmapped) {
		WARN_ON_ONCE(ret == RET_PF_SPURIOUS);
		rmap_add(vcpu, slot, sptep, gfn, pte_access);
	}

My only hesitation in adding a WARN is that the fast page fault path has similar
logic and doesn't WARN, but that's rather silly on my part because it ideally
would WARN, but grabbing the PFN to WARN would make it not-fast :-)

Want to post a patch?  I don't really want to squeeze the WARN into 6.13, just
in case there's some weird edge case we're forgetting.
