[PATCH] fix reading string module parameters in sysfs

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1747 bytes --]

Reading the contents of a module_param_string through sysfs currently
oopses because the param_get_charp() function cannot operate on a
kparam_string struct. This introduces the required param_get_string.
