Use WARN_ON_ONCE to print a stack trace and return a proper error

I was racking my brain to remember the reasoning behind BUG_ON() being 
the only viable way to prevent errors getting through unhandled, but of 
course that was before we had a standardised DMA_MAPPING_ERROR that 
would work across all implementations.

Ugh, I'm pretty sure that that "pfn_valid means RAM" misunderstanding 
originally came from me - it might be nice to have a less-misleading 
comment here, but off-hand I can't think of a succinct way to say "only 
for 'DMA' access to MMIO registers/SRAMs/etc. and not for anything the 
kernel knows as actual system/device memory" to better explain the WARN...

Either way, though,
