The next patch is going to remove .page_mkwrite from kernfs and will
WARN if an mmap implementation sets .page_mkwrite.

In preparation for that change, and to make it consistent, add a WARN to
the ->close check.

So you just rebooted a machine that hits this, loosing data everywhere.
Not nice :(

Well, apologies for that, but there's no way to know what every single machine
out there is doing...

However if this machine is using ->close when that's clearly marked as
unsupported then shouldn't we fix that?

Huh.  if you are stupid enough to set panic_on_warn you get to keep
the pieces.  And our file systems are reliable to not use data on
an unclean shutdown anyway.

Pleaee stop these BS arguments.
