[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Drop VM_BUG_ON in get_region_id

We can call get_region_id without validating the ea value. That means
with a wrong ea value we hit the BUG as below.

 kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash.h:129!
 Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
 LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
 CPU: 0 PID: 3937 Comm: access_tests Not tainted 5.1.0
 ....
 NIP [c00000000007ba20] do_slb_fault+0x70/0x320
 LR [c00000000000896c] data_access_slb_common+0x15c/0x1a0

Fix this by removing the VM_BUG_ON. All callers make sure the returned region id
is valid and error out otherwise.
