At some call sites of rmap_get_first() and rmap_get_next(), BUG_ON is

Move this check in rmap_get_first/next() so that all call sites, not
just the users of the for_each_rmap_spte() macro, will be checked the
same way. In addition, change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON since killing the
whole host is the last thing that KVM should try.
It should be a BUG_ON, if KVM continues it will corrupt (more) memory.
In the sense that we cannot predict what kind of corruption it will
cause, I agree with you.
But if it can only corrupt that guest's memory, it is a bit sad to
kill unrelated guests, and host, too. Anyway, since we cannot say
for sure what a possible bug can cause, I agree with you now.
Thanks,
Takuya
