[PATCH v2] arch: configuration issue, random return value when disable 'CONFIG_BUG'

If user disable 'CONFIG_BUG' in menuconfig, many areas not only will
report compiling warnings, but also may return a random value from the
function when BUG().

In fact, most of architectures need always let 'CONFIG_BUG' enabled, so
'#ifdef CONFIG_BUG' is already not 'generic' enough in "include/asm-
generic/".

Also kernel has already provided the 'generic' implementation in
"include/asm-generic" when 'CONFIG_BUG' enabled. Even if we disable
'CONFIG_BUG', we also shall have to implement the BUG() in "include/asm-
generic", just like when 'CONFIG_BUG' enabled (at least, it is not the
minimal size implementation).

So need remove 'CONFIG_BUG', and let it always enabled everywhere, then
fix this issue.

The architectures which need their own architecture specific features
(e.g. minimal size implementation), can customize their own BUG() and
__WARN_TAINT() to give a better fix (e.g. use one inline asm code, then
followed by 'unreachable' function, or another more better fix ways).
