[PATCH] sysrq: allow user trigger sysrq by upper-case character key

[zhangwei(Jovi)]

See the help text output of /proc/sysrq-trigger:

   SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E)
   memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) ...

Most command is referenced by responding upper-case character,
this would hint user can trigger sysrq by upper-case character key,
but that's wrong, sysrq only accept lower-case character currently.

It's reasonable to let user trigger sysrq by upper-case character key.
