[LTP] [PATCH v4] tst_taint: print readable error message instead of numerical codes

Fixes: #776

I have did the necessary changes as discussed in our communication.
Now we print each taint flag using tst_res(TINFO, ...) and a final
tst_brk(TBROK, ...) which informs the kernel is tainted.

Regards,
Kushal
