[PATCH] driver-core: Log the BUG() causing driver

[Florian Schmaus]

I triggerd the BUG_ON(), which was added in
f48f3febb2cbfd0f2ecee7690835ba745c1034a4, when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my case).
