David Hildenbrand 69d517e6e2 checkpatch: warn on usage of VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants
checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be
avoided, however, Linus notes:

    VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
    no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
    because these are less important". [1]

So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it,
make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed.

As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing
the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.
