Can you keep that in the caller of unmap_patch_area() instead of all those goto stuff ?

Why adding that WARN_ON(), what could make that happen that is worth a WARN_ON() ?

Patching is quite a critical fast path, I'm not sure we want to afford too many checks during 
patching, we want it quick at first.
