fs/buffer.c: remove BUG() in possible but rare condition
While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the
following chain of events:
alloc_page_buffers():
bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS);
if (!bh)
goto no_grow; <= path taken
grow_dev_page():
bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0);
if (!bh)
goto failed; <= taken, consequence of the above
and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel.
The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no
reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box.
Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every
time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just
too much. As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine
in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then.
