Subject: [PATCH -mm] nilfs2: convert BUG_ON() in nilfs_finish_roll_forward() to WARN_ON()

The BUG_ON check performed on the return value of __getblk() in
nilfs_finish_roll_forward() assumes that a buffer that has been
successfully read once is retrieved with the same parameters and does
not fail (__getblk() does not return an error due to memory allocation
failure).  Also, nilfs_finish_roll_forward() is called at most once
during mount.

Taking these into consideration, rewrite the check to use WARN_ON() to
avoid using BUG_ON().

Andrew, please add this to the queue for the next cycle (if it's not late).

This is a change to reduce BUG_ONs in legacy usage.
