[PATCH v2] iomap: Fix WARN_ON_ONCE() from unprivileged users

From: Qian Cai
Date: Sun Aug 30 2020 - 21:45:36 EST


It is trivial to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(1) in iomap_dio_actor() by
unprivileged users which would taint the kernel, or worse - panic if
panic_on_warn or panic_on_taint is set. Hence, just convert it to
pr_warn_ratelimited() to let users know their workloads are racing.
Thanks Dave Chinner for the initial analysis of the racing reproducers.

v2: Record the path, pid and command as well.
