WARN_ON_ONCE. Here and elsewhere.
Why? The UAPI may be used by different applications, thus we might
lose warnings for some of them. Having WARN_ON will show problems
for multiple users, not for the first one.
Does this make sense to still use WARN_ON?
Just as with pr_err call somewhere else the concern here is that
userland (which I think is where this is eventually called from?) may
intentionally trigger the error, flooding the log.

And even this is not directly called from userland there is still a
possibility of triggering this error multiple times.
Ok, will use WARN_ON_ONCE

In fact, is there a reason to use WARN at all? Does this condition
indicate some sort of internal inconsistency/error?
Well, the corresponding errors are anyways handled, so I will remove WARN
