[PATCH] BUG(): CONFIG_BUG=n version of BUG() should be unreachable()

[Alexander Beregalov]

Previouss definition of BUG() as 'do {} while(0)' produced compilation
warnings when BUG() was used in default branch of switch() statement
(control reaches end of non-void function).

Example:
unsigned long function()
{
	switch() {
	case 1:
		return 1;
	case 2:
		return 2;
	default:
		BUG();
}

Using unreachable() fixes the problem.
