Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] kernel: param: rename locate_module_kobject

The locate_module_kobject() function looks up an existing
module_kobject for a given module name. If it cannot find the
corresponding module_kobject, it creates one for the given name.

This commit renames locate_module_kobject() to
lookup_or_create_module_kobject() to better describe its operations.

This doesn't change anything functionality wise.

Fixes: 96a1a2412acb ("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time")
