modules: sysfs - export: taint, coresize, initsize
Recent tools do not want to use /proc to retrieve module information. A few
values are currently missing from sysfs to replace the information available
in /proc/modules.
This adds /sys/module/*/{coresize,initsize,taint} attributes.
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE (P) and TAINT_OOT_MODULE (O) flags are both always
shown now, and do no longer exclude each other, also in /proc/modules.
Replace the open-coded sysfs attribute initializers with the __ATTR() macro.
Add the new attributes to Documentation/ABI.

Beware, non-standard modes are usually not thoroughly tested by
hardware designers, and the hardware can malfunction when this
setting differ from default 100.
