Glauber Costa 61065a30af 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.
