Thanks.  I might that the opportunity to do a bit more cleaning up
here and suggest this version .

NeilBrown

---------------------------
Subject: Replace some warning ins nfsfh.h with BUG_ON or WARN_ON

A couple of the warning will be followed by an Oops if they ever fire,
so may as well be BUG_ON.  Another isn't obviously fatal but has never
been known to fire, so make it a WARN_ON.
