[PATCH v2 0/2] Revamp admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst to make it more comprehensible

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi! This is the second version of my patch to make
admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst more comprehensible. It got triggered while
working on an update for reporting-bugs.rst, as improving the documentation
around reporting bugs and regressions was one of the main things that a lot of
people wanted to see while regression tracking was discussed in the kernel and
maintainer summit 2017 in Prague.

This is the second version of the patch, which became a patch set, as it now
contains a script Randy (thx) provided during the discussion of the first
version. 

Please review and consider applying.

Ciao, Thorsten

Changes since v1 [1]:
- add tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint
- take care of Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt as well
- renumber existing description to avoid and off-by-one
- add verbose description for three more taints bits
- fix a lots of small issues raised during review
