Subject: [PATCH 1/5] module_param: invbool should take a 'bool', not an 'int'

Impact: cleanup, minor API change

It takes an 'int' for historical reasons, and there are only two
users: simply switch it over to bool.

The other user (uvesafb.c) will get a (harmless-on-x86) warning until
the next patch is applied.
