I want to highlight that these kinds of header cleanups are risky, and very low reward. I really don't want to see patches going all over the tree randomly touching header files. If we've got a real problem to solve, then sure. But I want to see a strong justification for any more header file cleanups.

So these patches might break build while their additional value is quite questionable.

The <linux/bug.h> was removed from radix-tree.h by the following commit: f5bba9d11a256ad2a1c2f8e7fc6aabe6416b7890. Since that commit, tools/testing/radix-tree/ couldn't pass compilation due to: tools/testing/radix-tree/idr.c:17: undefined reference to WARN_ON_ONCE. This patch adds the bug.h header to idr.h to solve the issue.
