From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b9959c7a347d6adbb558fba7e36e9fef3cba3b07 ] This was always meant to be a temporary thing, just for testing and to see if it actually ever triggered. The only thing that reported it was syzbot doing disk image fuzzing, and then that warning is expected. So let's just remove it before -rc4, because the extra sanity testing should probably go to -stable, but we don't want the warning to do so.
