module_param: remove support for bool parameters which are really int.
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. This eliminates that code (though leaves the flags field in the struct, for impending use). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
