Subject: [PATCH v5 2/9] moduleparam: add data member to struct kernel_param

Add a const void* data member to the struct, to allow attaching
private data that will be used soon by a setter method (via kp->data)
to perform more elaborate actions.

To attach the data at compile time, add new macros:

module_param_cbd() derives from module_param_cb(), adding data param,
and latter is redefined to use former.

It calls __module_param_call_wdata(), which accepts a new data param
and inits .data with it. Re-define __module_param_call() to use it.

Use of this new data member will be rare, it might be worth redoing
this as a separate/sub-type to de-bloat the base case.
