Sure, in fact there was a name clash as well with __ret and
I forgot to update the arch-specific versions.

[PATCH] Let WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition

Letting WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition means that you
could do

if (WARN_ON(blah)) {
	handle_impossible_case
}

Rather than

if (unlikely(blah)) {
	WARN_ON(1)
	handle_impossible_case
}

I checked all the newly added WARN_ON_ONCE users and none of them
test the return status so we can still change it.
