The kernel can hit warning and omit calling __warn() that prints the message.
But pkill_on_warn action should be taken each time.

As I can understand now, include/asm-generic/bug.h defines three warning
implementations:
 1. CONFIG_BUG=y and the arch provides __WARN_FLAGS. In that case pkill_on_warn
should be checked in report_bug() that you mention.
 2. CONFIG_BUG=y and the arch doesn't have __WARN_FLAGS. In that case
pkill_on_warn should be checked in warn_slowpath_fmt().
 3. CONFIG_BUG is not set. In that case pkill_on_warn should not be considered.

Please, correct me if needed.

That looks correct to me, yes.
