I was actually thinking about removing the WARN_ON entirely, or at
least suppressing it when the error begin returned from
ext4_map_blocks is EIO.  The reason for that is the warning is causing
noise for automated log scanners, and if the problem is caused by a
hardware failure, there's no real point in dumping out a stack trace.
More generally, is there any reason why we need the stack trace at
all?

Also maybe we should use ext4_warning() instead of ext4_msg()?
