module: Issue warnings when tainting kernel

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745263

commit 3205c36c upstream.

While most of the locations where a kernel taint bit is set are accompanied
with a warning message, there are two which set their bits silently.  If
the tainting module gets unloaded later on, it is almost impossible to tell
what was the reason for setting the flag.
