[PATCH v1 2/6] kernel/module.c: use generic module param operaters for sig_enforce

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

We're directly checking and modifying sig_enforce when needed instead
of using the generic helpers. This prevents us from generalizing this
helper so that others can use it. Use indirect helpers to allow us
to generalize this code a bit and to make it a bit more clear what
this is doing.
