Subject: [PATCH 6/7] bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code

The support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the
addition of linux/bug.h -- with this chunk off separate,
you can run into situations where a person gets a compile
fail even when they've included linux/bug.h, like this:

    CC      lib/string.o
  lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
  lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
  make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
  $
  $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
  #include <linux/bug.h>
  $

Since the above violates the principle of least surprise, move
the BUG chunks from kernel.h to bug.h so it is all together.
