Nit: WARN_ON_ONCE() otherwise it'll trigger endless amounts of
stacktraces in dmesg.

Considering it is a BUG_ON() today, I don't expect this to be hit. And, even if it was, prob it would be some buggy corner case which occasionally occurs.

Anyway, I don't feel too strongly about this and I suppose a WARN_ON_ONCE() is ok.

Thanks,
