modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE

If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag
for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading
symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously
imported gplonly symbols.  Add a anti-circumvention devices so people
don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.

Comment from Greg:
  "Ah, the proven-to-be-illegal "GPL Condom" defense :)"
