[PATCH v3 01/41] powerpc/traps: Declare unrecoverable_exception() as __noreturn

unrecoverable_exception() is never expected to return, most callers
have an infiniteloop in case it returns.

Ensure it really never returns by terminating it with a BUG(), and
declare it __no_return.

It always GCC to really simplify functions calling it. In the exemple
below, it avoids the stack frame in the likely fast path and avoids
code duplication for the exit.
