I'd rather avoid another walk of the modinfo data in
verify_namespace_is_imported(). I suggest checking whether mod->taints
has TAINT_OOT_MODULE set instead, which should provide the same
information. The symbol resolution already relies on the taint flags, so
this is consistent with the rest of the code.
