The compressed boot function error() is used to halt execution, but it wasn't marked with "noreturn". This fixes that in preparation for supporting kernel FORTIFY_SOURCE, which uses the noreturn annotation on panic, and calls error(). GCC would warn about a noreturn function calling a non-noreturn function:
