[PATCH v5 2/2] module: Rename module_blacklist to module_denylist

[Aaron Tomlin]

To align with the kernel's established coding style guide regarding
naming conventions (i.e., Documentation/process/coding-style.rst),
migrate the internal module_blacklist variables and helper functions to
module_denylist and module_is_denylisted().

To preserve the existing user-space ABI and ensure backward
compatibility with existing bootloader and automated provisioning
configurations, "module_blacklist=" is retained as a legacy alias
tracking the underlying module_denylist infrastructure.
