PATCH 1/1 hfs/hfsplus: use WARN_ON for sanity check

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

gcc warns about a couple of instances in which a sanity check exists but the author wasn't sure how to react to it failing, which makes it look like a possible bug:

fs/hfsplus/inode.c: In function 'hfsplus_cat_read_inode':
fs/hfsplus/inode.c:503:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
503 | /* panic? */;
| ^

| ^
fs/hfs/inode.c:485:37: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
485 | /* panic? */;
| ^

panic() is probably not the correct choice here, but a WARN_ON seems appropriate and avoids the compile-time warning.
