[PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."
WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:

[PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message
A warning is a warning, not a BUG.
( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
signals a kernel bug. )
i and others objected to this change during lkml review:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2
still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)
Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.
