Use 'E' instead of 'X' for unsigned module taint flag.

Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> says:
> The letter 'X' has been already used for SUSE kernels for very long
> time, to indicate the external supported modules.  Can the new flag be
> changed to another letter for avoiding conflict...?
> (BTW, we also use 'N' for "no support", too.)

Note: this code should be cleaned up, so we don't have such maps in
three places!
