x86/paravirt: Detect over-sized patching bugs in paravirt_patch_call()
paravirt_patch_call() currently handles patching failures inconsistently: we generate a warning in the retpoline case, but don't in other cases where we might end up with a non-working kernel as well. So just convert it all to a BUG_ON(), these patching calls are *not* supposed to fail, and if they do we want to know it immediately. This also makes the kernel smaller and removes an #ifdef ugly. I tried it with a richly paravirt-enabled kernel and no patching bugs were detected.
