lkdtm/bugs: Adjust lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() to avoid tail call optimization
When testing with lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() and looking at the output, I expected to see lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() in the stack crawl but it wasn't there. Instead, the top function on at least some devices was schedule() due to tail call optimization. Let's do two things to help here: 1. We'll mark this as "__noreturn". On GCC at least this is documented to prevent tail call optimization. The docs [1] say "In order to preserve backtraces, GCC will never turn calls to noreturn functions into tail calls." 2. We'll add a BUG_ON(1) at the end which means that schedule() is no longer a tail call. Note that this is potentially important because if we _did_ end up returning from schedule() due to some weird issue then we'd potentially be violating the "noreturn" that we told the compiler about. BUG is the right thing to do here.
