Subject[PATCH v2 2/3] sched/core: drop unlikely behind BUG_ON()
Date
(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't care
less and the change is ok.

(2) ppc and mips, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch predictions
as it seems to be pointless[1] and thus callers should not be trying to
push an optimization in the first place.

(3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an
unlikely compiler flag already.

Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().
