gen_pool_destroy BUG_ON() if it's not empty at the time of destroying.
Technically that should never happen, because
__netdev_devmem_binding_free() should only be called when the refcount
hits 0, so all the chunks have been freed back to the gen_pool. But,
just in case, I don't want to crash the server just because I'm
leaking a chunk... this is a bit of defensive programming that is
typically frowned upon, but the behavior of gen_pool is so severe I
think the WARN() + check is warranted here.
