Subject: [PATCH kernel] powerpc/debug: Add missing warn flag to WARN_ON's non-builtin path

When trapped on WARN_ON(), report_bug() is expected to return
BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN so the caller could increment NIP by 4 and continue.
The __builtin_constant_p() path of the PPC's WARN_ON() calls (indirectly)
__WARN_FLAGS() which has BUGFLAG_WARNING set, however the other branch
does not which makes report_bug() report a bug rather than a warning.

Fixes: 19d436268dde95389 ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")
Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@...abs.ru>

Actually 19d436268dde95389 replaced __WARN_TAINT() with __WARN_FLAGS()
and lost BUGFLAG_TAINT() and this is not in the commit log so it is
unclear:
1) why
2) whether this particular patch should be doing
   BUGFLAG_WARNING|BUGFLAG_TAINT(TAINT_WARN)
 or
   BUGFLAG_WARNING|(flags)

Any ideas? Thanks.
