This effectively causes BUG() to act like a function with the noreturn
attribute, which prevents GCC from warning about the code that follows
BUG() (for instance, warning about not returning a value in a non-void
function after calling BUG()).
This actually makes the kernel smaller; bloat-o-meter summary:
add/remove: 2/7 grow/shrink: 34/57 up/down: 475/-1233 (-758)
