linux-next: build failure after merge of the modules tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Rusty,

After merging the modules tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allnoconfig) failed like this:

kernel/params.c:628:6: error: redefinition of 'kernel_param_lock'
 void kernel_param_lock(struct module *mod)
      ^
In file included from include/linux/module.h:18:0,
                 from kernel/params.c:21:

 static inline void kernel_param_lock(struct module *mod)
                    ^
kernel/params.c:633:6: error: redefinition of 'kernel_param_unlock'

 static inline void kernel_param_unlock(struct module *mod)

Caused by commit b51d23e4e9fe ("module: add per-module param_lock").
This had not been tested with CONFIG_SYSFS not set.

I have added the following patch for today (which may not be complete,
but builds).
