param: locking for kernel parameters

There may be cases (most obviously, sysfs-writable charp parameters) where
a module needs to prevent sysfs access to parameters.

Rather than express this in terms of a big lock, the functions are
expressed in terms of what they protect against.  This is clearer, esp.
if the implementation changes to a module-level or even param-level lock.
