Youling Tang 2d2c395217 LoongArch: Use generic BUG() handler

Inspired by commit 9fb7410f955("arm64/BUG: Use BRK instruction for
generic BUG traps"), do similar for LoongArch to use generic BUG()
handler.

This patch uses the BREAK software breakpoint instruction to generate
a trap instead, similarly to most other arches, with the generic BUG
code generating the dmesg boilerplate.

This allows bug metadata to be moved to a separate table and reduces
the amount of inline code at BUG() and WARN() sites. This also avoids
clobbering any registers before they can be dumped.

To mitigate the size of the bug table further, this patch makes use of
the existing infrastructure for encoding addresses within the bug table
as 32-bit relative pointers instead of absolute pointers.

(Note: this limits the max kernel size to 2GB.)
