Given that you repeat these conditions all over the place, how about a
helper:

#define DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING_CHECK(x) \
(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING) && \
system_uses_irq_prio_masking() && (x))

or some variant thereof.

nit: There is also the question of using WARN_ON in a context that will
be extremely noisy if we're in a condition where this fires.
WARN_ON_ONCE, maybe? This is a debugging thing, so maybe we just don't care.
