module: Issue warnings when tainting kernel
commit 3205c36cf7d96024626f92d65f560035df1abcb2 upstream.
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.
