kernel/lib: add additional debug capabilities for data corruption

Browse Source 
Data corruptions in the kernel often end up in system crashes that
are easier to debug closer to the time of detection. Specifically,
if we do not panic immediately after lock or list corruptions have been
detected, the problem context is lost in the ensuing system mayhem.
Add support for BUG_ON immediately after such corruptions are detected.
The CONFIG option controls the enabling/disabling of the feature.

Select this option to upgrade warnings for potentially
recoverable data corruption scenarios to system-halting panics,
for easier detection and debug.
If we do not panic immediately after corruptions have been detected,
the problem context is lost in the ensuing system mayhem.
