Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] module: panic: Taint the kernel when selftest modules load

Taint the kernel with TAINT_TEST whenever a test module loads, by adding
a new "TEST" module property, and setting it for all modules in the
tools/testing directory. This property can also be set manually, for
tests which live outside the tools/testing directory with:
MODULE_INFO(test, "Y");
