modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE
If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag
for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading
symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously
imported gplonly symbols. Add a anti-circumvention devices so people
don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.
Comment from Greg:
"Ah, the proven-to-be-illegal "GPL Condom" defense :)"
[jeyu: pr_info -> pr_err and pr_warn as per discussion]
