[Bug] check return of kmalloc()

[Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've discovered that some btrfs code doesn't check whether kmalloc()
call succeeded. I poorly understand what this code does and how it can
be changed, maybe it would be happy with __GFP_NOFAIL.

Also there are BUG_ON() after kmalloc()'s, if they could be changed not
to panic it would be great.
