module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtime

The kparam code tries to handle over-length parameter prefixes at
runtime.  Not only would I bet this has never been tested, it's not
clear that truncating names is a good idea either.

So let's check at compile time.  We need to move the #define to
moduleparam.h to do this, though.
