Subject: [PATCH v2] asm-generic: bug: unify hints for BUG_ON()

If BUG_ON() is used instead of BUG(), it means that probably the
preferred outcome is to not BUG(), therefore the condition tested should
be unlikely().

However, when CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is enabled, the hint is
disabled, to avoid generating false-positive warnings caused by
-Wmaybe-uninitialized.
