From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 23b19b7b50fe1867da8d431eea9cd3e4b6328c2c ]

muldiv32() contains a snd_BUG_ON() (which is morphed as WARN_ON() with
debug option) for checking the case of 0 / 0.  This would be helpful
if this happens only as a logical error; however, since the hw refine
is performed with any data set provided by user, the inconsistent
values that can trigger such a condition might be passed easily.
Actually, syzbot caught this by passing some zero'ed old hw_params
ioctl.

So, having snd_BUG_ON() there is simply superfluous and rather
harmful to give unnecessary confusions.  Let's get rid of it.
