[PATCH] Report that kernel is tainted if there were an OOPS before (v2)

[Pavel Emelianov <xemul@sw.ru>]

If the kernel OOPS-ed or BUG-ed then it probably should
considered as tainted. Use die_counter introduced by many
architectures to determine whether or not the kernel died.

This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the
calltrace seen via SysRq-P.
