I think that's the responsibility of the architecture and doesn't deserve a WARN_ON() in generic code.
The generic code cannot check all what architectures do wrong.
Eventually you can do some testing at startup, maybe with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE, but I don't think we should have such verification in functions like check_heap_object()
