Add Partner Supported taint flag

Alice Mitchell requested to merge ajmitchell/kernel-ark:bz2038999 into os-build

This is to add a new kernel taint flag that indicates that this is a Partner Supported GPL module and not directly Supported by Red Hat, as per the policy document for partner Supported upstream kernel modules as linked from the bugzilla.

Use of rh_flags is deemed not appropriate in this case as that mechanism was developed with the intent of not tainting the kernel in a common scenario, where as in this case this taint flag

  1. is for a rare scenario so we need high visibility on it
  2. will trigger a different support workflow

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2038999 Upstream Status: RHEL only
