[PATCH 4.14 075/167] x86/debug: Use UD2 for WARN()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 3b3a371cc9bc980429baabe0a8e5f307f3d1f463 upstream.

Since the Intel SDM added an ModR/M byte to UD0 and binutils followed
that specification, we now cannot disassemble our kernel anymore.

This now means Intel and AMD disagree on the encoding of UD0. And instead
of playing games with additional bytes that are valid ModR/M and single
byte instructions (0xd6 for instance), simply use UD2 for both WARN() and
BUG().
