WARN_ON() already contains an unlikely(), so it's not necessary to use
unlikely.

NACK... see below.

When function graph is enabled, the printk from the warn on will likely
be traced as well and trigger the same WARN_ON, which will again cause
a recursion loop and crash and reboot the box with no output at all.

Notice that I call ftrace_graph_stop() *before* the WARN_ON(). This
disables the ftrace graph tracer and prevents the recursion loop from
happening.
There's a reason that the WARN_ON() is placed where it is.
But thanks for the report, it shows that I need to add a comment here
so that someone else doesn't send a similar patch in the future.

Sorry for this place, I should consider this situation.
