Fix the following dead_code warning on some configurations in an
atomic development branch:

warning: constant `WARN_ON_FLAGS` is never used
   --> /linux/rust/kernel/bug.rs:126:19
    |
126 |               const WARN_ON_FLAGS: u32 = $crate::bug::bugflag_taint($crate::bindings::TAINT_WARN);
    |                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    |
   ::: /linux/rust/kernel/sync/srcu.rs:106:12
    |
106 |           if crate::warn_on!(
    |  ____________-
107 | |             // SAFETY: By the type invariants, `self` contains a valid and pinned `struct srcu_struct`
108 | |             // and `srcu_readers_active()` only checks the active reader count.
109 | |             unsafe { bindings::srcu_readers_active(ptr) }
110 | |         ) {
    | |_________- in this macro invocation
    |
    = note: `#[warn(dead_code)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default
    = note: this warning originates in the macro `crate::warn_on` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

The warn_on! macro always defines a WARN_ON_FLAGS constant and hands it
to warn_flags!. On configurations where warn_flags! does not reference
its flags argument (the LOONGARCH/ARM variant, which only calls
WARN_ON(), and the !CONFIG_BUG no-op variant), the constant is left
unused and triggers a dead_code warning.

warn_flags! is the macro that accepts (and here discards) the flags
argument, so make it responsible for the argument it drops.
