When running the kernel with panic_on_taint, the usual slub debug error
messages are not being printed when object corruption happens. That's
because we panic in add_taint(), which is called before printing the
additional information. This is a bit unfortunate as the error messages
are actually very useful, especially before a panic. Let's fix this by
moving add_taint() after the errors are printed on the console.

Makes sense.
While at it, I wonder if we should use LOCKDEP_STILL_OK instead of
LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE. Isn't it too pessimistic to assume that some slab's
memory corruption hit some lock state?

Given there is noted corruption I don't think it's safe to assume otherwise.
