Subject: [PATCH] alpha: fix the BUG() macro

The commit "alpha: teach the compiler that BUG doesn't return"
(ed6b9b97f42c091630335bfb71a2931e6f86388b) moved the asm code into
inline function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments.
This violates asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand
with constant value), so that compile may result in warning
or error, depending on compiler version.

Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.
