The callers do check for errors, but at the point of the proposed BUG_ON() a
buffer overflow may have already occurred, so I think a BUG_ON() would be more
appropriate than a WARN_ON(). Of course, it would be better to prevent any
buffer overflow from occurring in the first place, but that's already the
purpose of the 'len != crypto_dh_key_len(params)' check; the issue was that
'crypto_dh_key_len()' calculated the wrong length.
