powerpc BUG_ON() is based on using twnei or tdnei instruction,
which obliges gcc to format the condition into a 0 or 1 value
in a register.
By using a generic implementation, gcc will generate a branch
to the unconditional trap generated by BUG().
As modern powerpc implement branch folding, that's even more efficient.
See below the difference at the entry of system_call_exception.
