Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: switch to BUG_ON()

Use BUG_ON() rather than an explicit if followed by BUG() for 
improved readability and also consistency.

./kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:2143:2-5: WARNING: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG.

BUG_ON() wraps the explicit if condition and is actually in use for
all conditional BUG() cases in cpuset.c except in this one function.

Patch was compile-tested with: x86_64_defconfig (implies CONFIG_CPUSETS=y)
(checkpatch warnings for this patch seem to be false-positives - the 
 BUG_ON should be fine)

Patch is against 4.11-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20170324)
