        src/sys/lib/libkern: kern_assert.c

Log Message:
revert rev 1.4 ("Add garbage instructions at end of kern_assert after vpanic.")

that change had no effect because vpanic() is marked __dead / noreturn
and thus the compiler would optimize away everything after a call to vpanic().
the original problem has now been fixed differently (but only for x86 so far).
