[PATCH] ARM: define __BUG as asm(BUG_INSTR) without CONFIG_BUG

Following (a long time after) a4b5d580e078 ("bug: Make BUG() always stop
the machine"), this adapts the ARM architecture to no longer rely
on the sub-optimal BUG() definition that has a silent endless loop
but instead use the same trapping instruction that we have for
the full BUG() support.

This avoids hundreds of warnings like

arch/arm/include/asm/xen/page.h: In function 'arbitrary_virt_to_machine':
arch/arm/include/asm/xen/page.h:85:1: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]

and also makes the code size slightly smaller. The behavior changes
from silently stopping the kernel to an oops, and follows what x86
does these days.

This patch was hiding in my randconfig-fixes branch merged into some other
commit, so I totally forgot about it.
