module: Fix freeing of charp module parameters when CONFIG_SYSFS=n

When setting a charp module parameter, the param_set_charp() function
allocates memory to store a copy of the input value. Later, when the module
is potentially unloaded, the destroy_params() function is called to free
this allocated memory.

However, destroy_params() is available only when CONFIG_SYSFS=y, otherwise
only a dummy variant is present. In the unlikely case that the kernel is
configured with CONFIG_MODULES=y and CONFIG_SYSFS=n, this results in
a memory leak of charp values when a module is unloaded.

Fix this issue by making destroy_params() always available when
CONFIG_MODULES=y. Rename the function to module_destroy_params() to clarify
that it is intended for use by the module loader.
