I think you get a crash in either case:

- with the existing BUG_ON() there is an immediate backtrace and it stops there
- with WARN_ON() and continuing, you operate on a context that is not
valid
- with the 'return', you get an endless loop, as it keeps calling
spusched_tick()
without sleeping.

Out of those options, the existing BUG_ON() seems best.
