[PATCH V2 linux-next] scripts/coccinelle/misc/bugon.cocci: update bug_on conversion warning

From: Fabian Frederick
Date: Thu Apr 09 2015 - 16:58:21 EST


if()/BUG conversion to BUG_ON must be avoided when there's side effect
in condition. The reason being BUG_ON won't execute the condition when CONFIG_BUG
is not defined.
