Actually, there were some discussions about removing these two BUG() assertions, it would not bring any side effect. Then, I did the the following changes, 1) use the existing macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES to wrap BUG() in the ocfs2_read_blocks_sync function like before. 2) disable the macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES in Makefile by default.
