I'm not overly on the WARN_ON(), as it has pretty fatal effects on
pKVM (it simply panics). What do you think of this instead, which
compiles with my prehistoric version of clang (14.0.6):

It preserves the build-time assertion, which was the intention of the
original author.

I can easily squash that in the original commit, avoiding the headache
of backporting both patch to stable.
