[PATCH] Report that kernel is tainted if there were an OOPS before(v3)

[Pavel Emelianov]

If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should
be considered as tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes 
and SysRq dumps will report the tainted kernel. This 
saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the calltraces.

The previous version was buggy and reported the kernel 
to be tainted at the very first oops as was noticed by 
Dave Jones in the report from Antonino Daplas.

Compilation is checked for i386, x86_64 and ia64 since 
I have no all the others at hands :)
