Yes - its really confusing. Actually, sysfs_pathname is called from
WARN(). So - when #ifndef WARN is false, then we're having that
problem and sysfs_pathname isn't used that time. So, the proposed
patch isn't the correct fix. Maybe, splitting up the WARN message and
calling sysfs_pathname is the correct one. Am I right?
