Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Make lib/bug.c WARN implementation match the
 kernel/panic.c one


There are a few issues with the exception based WARN implementation in
lib/bug.c:

- Inconsistent printk flags. The "cut here" line is printed at KERN_EMERG, so
  the console and all logged in users see the single line:

------------[ cut here ]------------

  for each WARN. Fix this so we print everything at KERN_WARNING to match the
  kernel/panic.c version.

- The lib/bug.c WARN would print "Badness at". Change it to match the
  kernel/panic.c version which prints "WARNING: at". 

- Print the list of modules, similar to kernel/panic.c of modules, similar to
  kernel/panic.c
