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

[Mike Waychison]

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.

Changelog:

   - Folded EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kmsg_dump) into this patch
