Subject: [PATCH] decnet: "addr" module param can't be __initdata

sysfs keeps references to module parameters via /sys/module/*/parameters,
so marking them as __initdata can't work.

Steps to reproduce:

	modprobe decnet
	cat /sys/module/decnet/parameters/addr

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address f88cd410
