commit dd524b7f317de8d31d638cbfdc7be4cf9b770e42 upstream.

Some code paths cannot guarantee the inode have any dentry alias. So
WARN_ON() all !dentry may flood the kernel logs.

For example, when an overlayfs inode is watched by inotifywait (1), and
someone is trying to read the /proc/$(pidof inotifywait)/fdinfo/INOTIFY_FD,
at that time if the dentry has been reclaimed by kernel (such as
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), there will be a WARN_ON(). The
printed call stack would be like:

    ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0
    show_mark_fhandle+0x4a/0xf0
    ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0
    ? seq_vprintf+0x30/0x50
    ? seq_printf+0x53/0x70
    ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0
    inotify_fdinfo+0x70/0x90
    show_fdinfo.isra.4+0x53/0x70
    seq_show+0x130/0x170
    seq_read+0x153/0x440
    vfs_read+0x94/0x150
    ksys_read+0x5f/0xe0
    do_syscall_64+0x59/0x1e0
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

So let's drop WARN_ON() to avoid kernel log flooding.
