In the past, BUG_ON (and BUG) could have a definition that would just do
nothing. In that case, the call to PageUptodate would go away. The
function may do a read barrier, so that could be undesirable.

But now I don't see any definition of BUG_ON that discards the condition.
So Himangi, you can discard the requirement that the tested expression be
an identifier in the semantic patch, and just allow any expression:

-if(e) BUG();
+BUG_ON(e);
