[PATCH] fs: grow_dev_page() failure path not a BUG()

[Louis Huemiller]

The function grow_dev_page() contains a label named failed which
is jumped to on allocation failure.  When the system is low on
memory, which is not a bug, this path can be taken.  This patch
removes the BUG() call, so that this path can be exercised for
proper operation on a debug kernel, without panicing the system.
