[PATCH] ipv6: addrconf: drop "BUG: " prefix from pr_warn()

Kernel warning messages emitted via pr_warn() already have the
appropriate log level (KERN_WARNING) and should not include manual
prefixes such as "BUG: " or "WARNING: ".
Explicit "BUG: " prefixes in log strings can mislead testing tools
like syzkaller, which scan kernel console output for "BUG: " to
identify kernel oopses, panics, and fatal conditions.
Remove the manual "BUG: " prefix from the pr_warn() call in
__ipv6_ifa_notify().
Fixes: 2d819d250a1393 ("ipv6: Handle missing host route in __ipv6_ifa_notify")
