param: simple locking for sysfs-writable charp parameters
param: remove unnecessary writable charp
param: add kerneldoc to moduleparam.h
param: locking for kernel parameters
param: make param sections const.
param: use free hook for charp (fix leak of charp parameters)
param: add a free hook to kernel_param_ops.
