Add a hint to the compiler.
If BUG_ON() is used instead of BUG(), it means that probably the
preferred outcome is to not BUG().
The optimization is disabled, in case CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES
is turned on.

This sounds like a good idea, as this is one of the more likely causes
of false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings with
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES
Could you add a comment about -Wmaybe-uninitialized next to the definition?
Otherwise that is easily lost.
Also, I see that the file has two separate definitions of BUG_ON(), and the
other one does have an unlikely() in it already. Can you change both
to do the same thing with unlikely() or not unlikely()?
