Andi Kleen b1fca27d38 kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the
log.

During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings,
so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can
guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings.

This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so
that they appear again:

  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once

This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special
section, and clearing it.

 WARN_ONCE / WARN_ON_ONCE only print a warning once.
 echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once
 clears the state and allows the warnings to print once again.
 This can be useful after test suite runs to reproduce problems.
