xfs: introduce CONFIG_XFS_WARN
Running a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG kernel in production environments is not the best idea as it introduces significant overhead, can change the behaviour of algorithms (such as allocation) to improve test coverage, and (most importantly) panic the machine on non-fatal errors. There are many cases where all we want to do is run a kernel with more bounds checking enabled, such as is provided by the ASSERT() statements throughout the code, but without all the potential overhead and drawbacks. This patch converts all the ASSERT statements to evaluate as WARN_ON(1) statements and hence if they fail dump a warning and a stack trace to the log. This has minimal overhead and does not change any algorithms, and will allow us to find strange "out of bounds" problems more easily on production machines. There are a few places where assert statements contain debug only code. These are converted to be debug-or-warn only code so that we still get all the assert checks in the code.
