--- Patch [2]: [PATCH v9 2/2] module: Rename module_blacklist to module_denylist ---
commit ac79bb8334a6a0d6e2353ff853444d535ab50178
Author: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>

module: Rename module_blacklist to module_denylist

This commit renames the kernel parameter and internal symbols from "blacklist"
to "denylist" while keeping the old parameter as a deprecated alias. Log
messages and documentation are also updated to reflect the new terminology.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should this comment also be updated to say "denylisted"
to match the rest of the terminology changes in this patch?
