MIPS: Make BUG() __noreturn.
Often we do things like put BUG() in the default clause of a case statement. Since it was not declared __noreturn, this could sometimes lead to bogus compiler warnings that variables were used uninitialized. There is a small problem in that we have to put a magic while(1); loop to fool GCC into really thinking it is noreturn. This makes the new BUG() function 3 instructions long instead of just 1, but I think it is worth it as it is now unnecessary to do extra work to silence the 'used uninitialized' warnings. I also re-wrote BUG_ON so that if it is given a constant condition, it just does BUG() instead of loading a constant value in to a register and testing it.
