Subject: [PATCH v2 23/23] netoops: Add an interface to trigger various types
	of crashes.

It is very useful to be able to test the crash path, but in order to do so, we
need to expose various ways to crash the kernel in a deterministic fashion.

This commit adds a file, /proc/sys/kernel/net_dump_now that takes various
tokens that will crash the kernel in various ways.

This requires kmsg_dump() be accessible to modules, so export it.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@...gle.com>

Changelog:
- v2
   - Folded EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kmsg_dump) into this patch

TODO: User visible ABI needs a better interface
