[PATCH] usage: trace2 BUG() invocations

die() messages are traced in trace2, but BUG() messages are not. Anyone tracking die() messages would have even more reason to track BUG(). Therefore, write to trace2 when BUG() is invoked.

This was noticed when we observed at $DAYJOB that a certain BUG()
invocation [1] wasn't written to traces.
