[PATCH] powerpc/bug: Remove specific powerpc BUG_ON()

[Christophe Leroy]

powerpc BUG_ON() is based on using twnei or tdnei instruction,
which obliges gcc to format the condition into a 0 or 1 value
in a register.

By using a generic implementation, gcc will generate a branch
to the unconditional trap generated by BUG().

As modern powerpc implement branch folding, that's even more efficient.

See below the difference at the entry of system_call_exception.

With the patch:
