DEBUG: reduce the footprint of BUG_ON() calls
Many inline functions involve some BUG_ON() calls and because of the
partial complexity of the functions, they're not inlined anymore (e.g.
co_data()). The reason is that the expression instantiates the message,
its size, sometimes a counter, then the atomic OR to taint the process,
and the back trace. That can be a lot for an inline function and most
of it is always the same.
This commit modifies this by delegating the common parts to a dedicated
function "complain()" that takes care of updating the counter if needed,
writing the message and measuring its length, and tainting the process.
This way the caller only has to check a condition, pass a pointer to the
preset message, and the info about the type (bug or warn) for the tainting,
then decide whether to dump or crash. Note that this part could also be
moved to the function but resulted in complain() always being at the top
of the stack, which didn't seem like an improvement.
Thanks to these changes, the BUG_ON() calls do not result in uninlining
functions anymore and the overall code size was reduced by 60 to 120 kB
depending on the build options.
