[PATCH] bug: Fix no-return-statement warning with !CONFIG_BUG

BUG() does not return, and arch implementations of BUG() use unreachable()
or other non-returning code. However with !CONFIG_BUG, the default
implementation is often used instead, and that does not do that. x86 always
uses its own implementation, but powerpc with !CONFIG_BUG gives a build
error:

  kernel/time/timekeeping.c: In function ‘timekeeping_debug_get_ns’:
  kernel/time/timekeeping.c:286:1: error: no return statement in function
  returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]

Add unreachable() to default !CONFIG_BUG BUG() implementation.
