dfb09a8944b0 drm/i915: BUG() if we can't lookup_power_well()

WARN_ON & recovery code rather than BUG() or BUG_ON()
#31: FILE: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_runtime_pm.c:1124:
+	BUG();

See the commit message of patch 2, Mr. Robot. I don't think it's worth
adding checking code in the callers, and replacing the current null
pointer dereference with a BUG() is an improvement IMHO.

If anybody disagrees with this, please say so.

other option could be to use WARN_ON to make Mr. Robot happy and
then return first/last/default power well to make callers happy
