[PATCH] gfs2: replace BUG_ON with WARN_ON_ONCE in gfs2_quota_cleanup

Message-ID <[email protected]>
gfs2_quota_cleanup() triggers a kernel BUG when called while the
journal is still marked live and SDF_NORECOVERY is not set. This
can occur during filesystem withdraw or error recovery paths,
particularly via gfs2_make_fs_ro() during a reconfigure operation.

The BUG_ON was intended to catch unexpected state where quota
cleanup runs while the journal is active. However, the cleanup
code is safe in this scenario because it skips quota entries with
active references and waits for all references to drain via
wait_event_timeout().

Crashing the kernel is unnecessarily harsh for what is a
recoverable situation. Replace the BUG_ON with WARN_ON_ONCE to
flag the unexpected state for debugging while allowing the
cleanup to proceed safely.
