One of the mistakes a module_param() user can make is to supply default
value of module parameter as the last argument.  module_param() accepts
permissions instead.  If default value is, say, 3 (-------wx), parameter
becomes world-writeable.

So far, the only remedy was to apply grep(1) and read drivers submitted
to -mm. BTDT.

With this patch applied, compiler will finally do some job.

*) bounds checking on permissions
*) world-writeable bit checking on permissions
*) compile breakage if checks trigger

First version of this check (only "& 2" part) directly caught 4 out of 7
places during my last grep.
