This is equivalent to WARN_ON_ONCE(SI_TKILL)... doesn't matter, please ignore.

Thanks, I think -stable needs this patch asap. It turns out 2.6.32.36, 2.6.33.9,
2.6.37.6 and 2.6.38.2 pulled da48524eb20662618854bb3df2db01fc65f3070c.

If this change breaks something too, we can make even more conservative check.
