The commit [d507941beb1e: ALSA: pcm: Correct PCM BUG error message] made the warning prefix back to "BUG:" due to its previous wrong prefix. But a kernel message containing "BUG:" seems taken as an Oops message wrongly by some brain-dead daemons, and it annoys users in the end. Instead of teaching daemons, change the string again to a more reasonable one.
