I'd just remove the BUG_ON().

gnttab_request_version() called some lines up always sets
gnttab_interface.

The BUG_ON() in nr_status_frames() can be removed, too. It is either
called by v2 specific functions (for those to be reached
gnttab_interface must be set) or by gnttab_init() (reasoning see
above).
