checkpatch: add warning on BUG/BUG_ON use
Using BUG/BUG_ON crashes the kernel and is just unfriendly.
Enable code that emits a warning on BUG/BUG_ON use.
Make the code emit the message at WARNING level when scanning a patch and
at CHECK level when scanning files so that script users don't feel an
obligation to fix code that might be above their pay grade.
