Subject: [PATCH 3.16 239/294] paride: fix the "verbose" module param

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 946e87981942552e526aca9cb6204f02a6c847cb upstream.

The verbose module parameter can be set to 2 for extremely verbose
messages so the type should be int instead of bool.
