[PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."

WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug.  Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:

    [PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message

    A warning is a warning, not a BUG.

( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
  CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
  signals a kernel bug. )

i and others objected to this change during lkml review:

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2

still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)

Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.
