[PATCH] sched: set TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP after sleep-in-atomic bug

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

Usually sleep-in-atomic bugs are followed by dozens other warnings.
This patch should help to figure out original source of problem.
This taint flag also turns off lockdep, because it can go mad after that.

Original TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP is used only on various ancient buggy K7 Athlons.
TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP is shown as 'S' in "Tainted" line, so let it be acronym for
SMP, Scheduler and Sleep-in-atomic. Probably we should rename it into
TAINT_SHIT, but TAINT_CRAP is already there. =)
