Replace a WARN_ON with a proper check and message in case something goes really wrong and resumed balance cannot set up its exclusive status. The check is a user friendly assertion, I don't expect to ever happen under normal circumstances.
Also document that the paused balance starts here and owns the exclusive op status.
