Below commits are needed by crash to work on linux-4.10 kernel.

commit e37dd7852f590e3334420e5b41a833085ab1d0b0

Prepare for the kernel's "taint_flag.true" and "taint_flag.false"
member names to be changed to "c_true" and "c_false", which fixes
build problems when an out-of-tree module defines "true" or "false".

commit 24a696228c56fd4354d29abe05b206373e0c8bfb

Fix for Linux 4.10 commit 7fd8329ba502ef76dd91db561c7aed696b2c7720
"taint/module: Clean up global and module taint flags handling".
Without the patch, when running against Linux 4.10-rc1 and later
kernels, the crash utility fails during session initialization with
the message "crash: invalid structure size: tnt".

I have verified it on crash-utiltity source shipped by distro.(Ubuntu-17.04)
