modules: Add kernel parameter to blacklist modules
Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current
procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.
This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
[v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies
things.
[v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep()
[v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted()
