scripts/coccinelle/misc/bugon.cocci: update bug_on conversion warning
if()/BUG conversion to BUG_ON must be avoided when there's side effect in condition. The reason being BUG_ON won't execute the condition when CONFIG_BUG is not defined. With inspiration from Bruce Fields. Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Suggested-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Cc: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@fieldses.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
