Subject: mm: vmalloc: replace BUG_ON() by WARN_ON_ONCE()
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2022 20:00:22 +0100

Currently a vm_unmap_ram() functions triggers a BUG() if an area is not
found.  Replace it by the WARN_ON_ONCE() error message and keep machine
alive instead of stopping it.

The worst case is a memory leaking.
