Actually  WARN_ON macro has been defined slightly differently for each
Acrhitecture in kernel.

Can you specifically point out the definition of macro you have suggested
 and where it is defined in kernel.

get_cred(new); where null is struct cred *new.

I think this new might be NULL.

Now I plan to add an assert in our macro that deals with creds, like for
asserting passed object isn't NULL.

Any suggestions as to how I can do that?

        WARN_ON(!new);

is probably your best bet.
