Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition) 

The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set.  This is useful to
know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
in the taint state.

This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
These archs are:
	1. s390
	2. superh
	3. avr32
	4. parisc

The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
in this email to alert them to the situation.

The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
new flag.

The primary reason for the 'Tainted: ' string is to tell kernel
debuggers if this is a clean kernel or if anything unusual has
occurred. Tainting is permanent: even if an offending module is
