Subject: [PATCH] net/rxrpc: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG.

BUG_ON() uses unlikely in if(), which can be optimized at compile time.

              do { if (unlikely(condition)) BUG(); } while (0)

Through disassembly, we can see that brk #0x800 is compiled to the
end of the function.
As you can see below:
    ......
    ffffff8008660bec:   d65f03c0    ret
    ffffff8008660bf0:   d4210000    brk #0x800

Usually, the condition in if () is not satisfied. For the multi-stage
pipeline, we do not need to perform fetch decode and excute operation
on brk instruction.

IMO, this can improve the efficiency of the multi-stage pipeline.
