Well, getnstime_raw_and_real() is actually just a merge of
getnstimeofday() and getrawmonotonic(). The warning came from
getnstimeofday(). Usually this code should be called once a second but
the frequency can be higher. IMHO other functions like getnstimeofday()
and ktime_get_ts() would be a bigger problem anyway because they have
the same checks.

So I'm ok with either choice.
Hmm, will use WARN_ON_ONCE then if nobody objects.
