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.
