Subject: [PATCH 4/5] bugs/x86: Augment warnings output by concatenating 'cond_str' with the regular __FILE__ string in _BUG_FLAGS()

This allows the reuse of the UD2 based 'struct bug_entry' low-overhead
_BUG_FLAGS() implementation and string-printing backend, without
having to add a new field.

An example:

If we have the following WARN_ON_ONCE() in kernel/sched/core.c:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(idx < 0 && ptr);

Then previously _BUG_FLAGS() would store this string in bug_entry::file:

	"kernel/sched/core.c"

After this patch, it would store and print:

	"[idx < 0 && ptr] kernel/sched/core.c"

Which is an extended string that will be printed in warnings.
