I've traced the piece of kernel code which causes this warning through various revisions. It seems to be an old unresolved kernel bug triggered on various machines. Originally it was introduced as a bug assertion in [1]. Then it became a warning in [2] in order to provide better debugging. Finally, in [3] it was rate limited to stop it from filling up the kernel logs. I suggest you either look for discussions of this bug on the linux kernel mailing list or contact Thomas Gleixner (who provided these patches) directly. His email address is listed in those commits.
