unrecoverable_exception() is never expected to return, most callers
have an infiniteloop in case it returns.
Ensure it really never returns by terminating it with a BUG(), and
declare it __no_return.
It always GCC to really simplify functions calling it. In the exemple
below, it avoids the stack frame in the likely fast path and avoids
code duplication for the exit.
