Use WARN rather than printk followed by WARN_ON(1), for conciseness.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this transformation
is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression list es;
@@

-printk(
+WARN(1,
  es);
-WARN_ON(1);
// </smpl>

Hi Julia,
you are removing the {} behin the if. I prefer to be a bit conservative
about {}. There is suggest to keep them because WARN may be expanded in
future (with a second line) and that will cause subtle changes that do
no break the code. (Yes i know it is possible to write macros that
contain savely more than one line.)
