[PATCH v6 3/3] check-module-params: Introduce check-module-params.sh

One part of maintaining backwards compatibility with older
userspace programs is avoiding changes to module parameters.

To that end, add a script (check-module-params.sh) which
performs a simple check of module parameter changes across
git references.

For example, if this module parameter:

module_param(max_nullfunc_tries, int, 0644);

...restricted its mode parameter:

module_param(max_nullfunc_tries, int, 0600);

The script would flag the change:

Module parameter "max_nullfunc_tries" in net/mac80211/mlme.c changed!
  Original args: int,0644
       New args: int,0600

+$name - check for module parameters stability across git commits.
+
+By default, the script will check to make sure the latest commit (or current
+dirty changes) did not introduce changes when compared to HEAD^1. You can
+check against additional commit ranges with the -b and -p options.
+
+Usage: $name [-b BASE_REF] [-p PAST_REF] [-j N] [-l ERROR_LOG] [-q] [-v]
+
+Options:
+    -b BASE_REF    Base git reference to use for comparison. If unspecified or empty,
+                   will use any dirty changes in tree to UAPI files. If there are no
+                   dirty changes, HEAD will be used.
+    -p PAST_REF    Compare BASE_REF to PAST_REF (e.g. -p v6.1). If unspecified or empty,
+                   will use BASE_REF^1. Must be an ancestor of BASE_REF. Only headers
+                   that exist on PAST_REF will be checked for compatibility.
+    -j JOBS        Number of checks to run in parallel (default: number of CPU cores).
+    -l ERROR_LOG   Write error log to file (default: no error log is generated).
+    -q             Quiet operation (suppress stdout, still print stderr).
+    -v             Verbose operation (print more information about each header being checked).
+
+Exit codes:
+    $SUCCESS) Success
+    $FAILURE) Module param differences detected
