Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: switch to BUG_ON()

Use BUG_ON() rather than an explicit if followed by BUG().

./kernel/sched/core.c:5913:2-5: WARNING: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG.

There is one checkpatch.pl warning but thats a false positive. To panik()
when there is no core to run init on sounds resonable.

Patch was compile-tested with: x86_64_defconfig (implies CONFIG_SMP=y)
(some unrelated sparse warnings)

Patch is against 4.11-rc4 (localversion-next is next-20170327)
