It is a useful to be able to exercise kmsg_dumper implementations without requiring a kernel oops or panic. This commit adds a new reason called KMSG_DUMP_SOFT, which signifies that the system isn't really going down.
This logic is used in a later commit that introduces the netoops driver.

It is also possible that we not introduce KMSG_DUMP_SOFT, and simply overload the existing KMSG_DUMP_OOPS reason, but I figured that this would be cleaner.
