The WARN_ONCE was issued also in cases that had nothing to do with VM_IO (e.g. if the start address was just a random value and uaccess fails with -EFAULT). There are no reports of WARN_ONCE being issued for actual VM_IO cases, so just drop it and instead add a note to the comment before the function.
