Subject: ALSA: pcm: Remove yet superfluous WARN_ON()
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
commit 23b19b7b50fe1867da8d431eea9cd3e4b6328c2c upstream.
muldiv32() contains a snd_BUG_ON() (which is morphed as WARN_ON() with
debug option) for checking the case of 0 / 0. This would be helpful
if this happens only as a logical error; however, since the hw refine
is performed with any data set provided by user, the inconsistent
values that can trigger such a condition might be passed easily.
Actually, syzbot caught this by passing some zero'ed old hw_params
ioctl.
So, having snd_BUG_ON() there is simply superfluous and rather
harmful to give unnecessary confusions. Let's get rid of it.
