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.
