A bit brutal, since worst case we just leaked something. I'd only go with
WARN_ON. This isn't userspace, dying should be optional to make debugging
easier (paranoid people reboot the machine on both anyway).

Same here about WARN_ON preferred.
Also this can actually happen if you race and don't hold
proto_context_lock sufficiently, so another lockdep_assert_held for this
function would be good I think.
Otoh if that means too much fake lock taking in like context_open then
maybe let's not do the lockdep_assert_held but instead perhaps a comment?
Or maybe do the lockdep_assert_held for id != 0 only.

Maybe stuff this into the kerneldoc for the lookup function and just put a
pointer to that in here instead? It hyperlinks in the html output, and in
the text you can follow with cscope or similar. And it's closer to where
the future devs probably need that information.
Minimally at least reference the lookup function here for that link
goodness :-)
