I guess the fear is to panic on systems that do have panic_on_warn (not
sure how many productions systems have this out there).
But anyway, being coherent with that, I think you should remove the WARN_ON
in hash__remove_section_mapping as well.
Besides that:

Not sure if the functions below that also have any sort of WARN_ON.
native_hpte_removebolted has a VM_WARN_ON, but that is on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM so does not really matter.
