Instead of returning an inconclusive value of NULL for an error in calling
bio_split(), return a ERR_PTR() always.

Also remove the BUG_ON() calls, and WARN() instead. Indeed, since almost
all callers don't check the return code from bio_split(), we'll crash
anyway (for those failures).

Nit: WARN_ON_ONCE() otherwise it'll trigger endless amounts of 
stacktraces in dmesg.

This looks reasonable to me modulo the WARN_ON_ONCE comment from
Johannes.

Considering it is a BUG_ON() today, I don't expect this to be hit. And, 
even if it was, prob it would be some buggy corner case which 
occasionally occurs.

Anyway, I don't feel too strongly about this and I suppose a 
WARN_ON_ONCE() is ok.

Thanks,
John
