  module: Rename MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN to __MODULE_NAME_LEN (2025-07-31 13:57:47 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a small set of changes for modules, primarily to extend module users
to use the module data structures in combination with the already no-op stub
module functions, even when support for modules is disabled in the kernel
configuration. This change follows the kernel's coding style for conditional
compilation and allows kunit code to drop all CONFIG_MODULES ifdefs, which is
also part of the changes. This should allow others part of the kernel to do the
same cleanup.

Note that this had a conflict with sysctl changes [1] but should be fixed now as I
rebased on top.

The remaining changes include a fix for module name length handling which could
potentially lead to the removal of an incorrect module, and various cleanups.

The module name fix and related cleanup has been in linux-next since Thursday
(July 31) while the rest of the changes for a bit more than 3 weeks.

Note that this currently has conflicts in next with kbuild's tree [2].
