panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flags

WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around.  These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN.  To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.

Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().
