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.
