badpage: KERN_ALERT BUG instead of KERN_EMERG

bad_page() and rmap Eeek messages have said KERN_EMERG for a few years,
which I've followed in print_bad_pte().  These are serious system errors,
on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best
to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does.

And remove the "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" line: it's
not untrue, but I hope the KERN_ALERT "BUG: " conveys as much.
