sched: Add default-disabled option to BUG() when stack end location is overwritten
Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule() does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be handled. This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate action since the damage is already done, there is no point in continuing.
