Subject: [PATCH v3] iomap: Fix WARN_ON_ONCE() from unprivileged users

It is trivial to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(1) in iomap_dio_actor() by
unprivileged users which would taint the kernel, or worse - panic if
panic_on_warn or panic_on_taint is set. Hence, just convert it to
pr_warn_ratelimited() to let users know their workloads are racing.
Thank Dave Chinner for the initial analysis of the racing reproducers.

v3: Keep the default case and update the message.
v2: Record the path, pid and command as well.

"File: %pD4"?

Sounds like a good idea. I could use that.
