[patch] i386: handle_BUG(): don't print garbage if debug info unavailable

From: Chuck Ebbert
Date: Mon Jul 10 2006 - 10:39:58 EST


handle_BUG() tries to print file and line number even when
they're not available (CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not set.)
Change this to print a message stating info is unavailable
instead of printing a misleading message.

Compile tested only, with/without CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.
