Should the core WARN_ON if that happens and there's enough memory, or
something like that?

I grepped, and there are not too many users of VM_FAULT_OOM. These
might be relevant:

drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c: *   VM_FAULT_OOM on out-of-memory
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c:			ret = VM_FAULT_OOM;
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c:				ret = VM_FAULT_OOM;
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_mman.c:		return VM_FAULT_OOM;
drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_gem.c:				ret = VM_FAULT_OOM;
drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c:				ret = VM_FAULT_OOM;
