Looks like the __setup_param() defined in "#ifndef MODULE" can NOT be used for
MODULE build at all, so sharing same implementation is NOT available, so if it is NOT
that critical, I plan to keep the #else block in this patch, let me know if you have further
concern or any other suggestion, below is the build error reported for module build using
__setup_param() implementation for built in.

Anson
