module: Issue warnings when tainting kernel
[ Upstream commit 3205c36cf7d96024626f92d65f560035df1abcb2 ] While most of the locations where a kernel taint bit is set are accompanied with a warning message, there are two which set their bits silently. If the tainting module gets unloaded later on, it is almost impossible to tell what was the reason for setting the flag.
