rcu: Eliminate BUG_ON() for kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h
The tree_plugin.h file has a number of calls to BUG_ON(), which panics the kernel, which is not a good strategy for devices (like embedded) that don't have a way to capture console output. This commit therefore converts these BUG_ON() calls to WARN_ON_ONCE() and WARN_ONCE(). Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> [ paulmck: Fix typo: s/rcuo/rcub/. ]
