4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Varsha Rao <rvarsha016@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d351c2db5420bb17dcd2d9aac7ddb5f64c6d04b3 ] BUG_ON() is replaced with WARN_ON() and EINVAL is returned, when WARN_ON() is true. This fixes the following checkpatch issue: Avoid crashing the kernel - try using WARN_ON & recovery code rather than BUG() or BUG_ON().
