ioremap: Delay sanity check until after a successful mapping
While tracking down the reason for an ioremap() failure I was
distracted by the WARN_ONCE() in __ioremap_caller().
Performing a WARN_ONCE() sanity check before the mapping
is successful seems pointless if the caller sends bad values.
A case in point is when the BIOS provides erroneous screen_info
values causing vesafb_probe() to request an outrageuous size.
The WARN_ONCE is then wasted on bogosity. Move the warning to a
point where the mapping has been successfully allocated.
