I prefer what you currently have.

             WARN(1, "list_del corruption. next->prev should be %p, but was %p\n",
                     entry, next->prev);
             BUG_ON(CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURE);

Will always warn (as stated by "1") and and the BUG_ON() will bug if
CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURE is set. Although, I don't like that name. Can
we have a:

 BUG_ON(BUG_ON_CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURES);

Or maybe have that as a macro:

#ifdef CONFIG_BUG_ON_CORRUPTION
# define BUG_ON_CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURE() BUG_ON(1)
#else
# define BUG_ON_CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURE() do {} while (0)
#endif

Then we can have:

             WARN(1, "list_del corruption. next->prev should be %p, but was %p\n",
                     entry, next->prev);
             BUG_ON_CORRUPTED_DATA_STRUCTURE();

??
