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.
