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.
