kernel_sendmsg() is less likely to return -ENOSPC and it might be
a bug to do so. However, in the past there might have been cases
where a -ENOSPC was returned from a low level driver.
Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to ensure that it is safe to assume that -ENOSPC
is no longer returned. This -ENOSPC specific handling will be removed
once we are sure it is no longer returned.
