[PATCH 3/4] bug: use the aural error reporting framework to report warnings

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Mon Apr 01 2019 - 06:25:36 EST


Use the new aural error reporting framework to signal kernel bugs. Emit the
sound at the end of the __warn(), so the WARN_* are all covered.
If panic_on_warn is set, panic() will play its sound and never return,
so there is no risk to emit two sounds or the wrong one.
