Subject: lib: taint kernel in common report_bug() WARN path.
From: Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 95b570c9cef3b12356454c7112571b7e406b4b51 introduced a TAINT_WARN
that was implemented for all architectures using the generic
warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded any architecture that set
HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.
As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.
Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.
