Without the BUG() in csky arch_cpu_idle_dead(), the compiler will warn
about arch_cpu_idle_dead() returning, because it's marked __noreturn but
doesn't clearly return (as far as the compiler knows).
And we want it marked __noreturn so we'll be more likely to catch such
bugs at build time.
And as a bonus we get better code generation and clearer code semantics
which helps both humans and tooling understand the intent of the code.
