Subject: hfs/hfsplus: use WARN_ON for sanity check
gcc warns about a couple of instances in which a sanity check exists but
the author wasn't sure how to react to it failing, which makes it look
like a possible bug:
fs/hfsplus/inode.c: In function 'hfsplus_cat_read_inode':
fs/hfsplus/inode.c:503:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
503 | /* panic? */;
| ^
fs/hfsplus/inode.c:524:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
524 | /* panic? */;
| ^
fs/hfsplus/inode.c: In function 'hfsplus_cat_write_inode':
fs/hfsplus/inode.c:582:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
582 | /* panic? */;
| ^
fs/hfsplus/inode.c:608:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
608 | /* panic? */;
| ^
fs/hfs/inode.c: In function 'hfs_write_inode':
fs/hfs/inode.c:464:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
464 | /* panic? */;
| ^
fs/hfs/inode.c:485:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
485 | /* panic? */;
| ^
panic() is probably not the correct choice here, but a WARN_ON
seems appropriate and avoids the compile-time warning.
