[PATCH v3 01/10] mtd: powernv_flash: Use WARN_ON_ONCE() rather than BUG_ON()

BUG_ON() should be reserved in situations where we can not longer
guarantee the integrity of the system. In the case where
powernv_flash_async_op() receives an impossible op, we can still
guarantee the integrity of the system.
