[ Upstream commit 864b23f0169d5bff677e8443a7a90dfd6b090afc ]

The result of kmalloc() should have been checked ahead of below statement:

	pqp = (struct bau_pq_entry *)vp;

Move BUG_ON(!vp) before above statement.

How did this even get merged in the first place?  I thought a number of
us complained about it.

This isn't any change in code, and the original is just fine, the author
didn't realize how C works :(

Please drop this.

Heh, I've dropped it.
