WARN_ONCE is triggered when interface is toggled when running 'ethtool -S' command
on a powerpc machine running today's mainline kernel

i40e: use WARN_ONCE to replace the commented BUG_ON size check
We don't really want to use BUG_ON here since that would completely
crash the kernel, thus the reason we commented it out. We *can't* use
BUILD_BUG_ON because at least now (a) the sizes aren't constant (we are
fixing this) and (b) not all compilers are smart enough to understand
that "p - data" is a constant.
Machine: Power 8 bare-metal
