Yea, you are probably right. All the rest of this checker uses BUG_ON()
though. Maybe they should all be something else? Just felt weird to
have this be the only check that is different.

I don't have any objections to changing it to WARN_ON(). Should I
switch the rest of the checks here while I'm at it?
