module_param: allow 'bool' module_params to be bool, not just int.
Impact: API cleanup For historical reasons, 'bool' parameters must be an int, not a bool. But there are around 600 users, so a conversion seems like useless churn. So we use __same_type() to distinguish, and handle both cases. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
