module: Remove unnecessary module::args

Browse source

Historically, various parameter-handling code kept pointers into
module::args, most notably the charp support. However, in 2009,
commit e180a6b775 ("param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs") changed
charp parameters to kstrdup() the input string as well. As a result,
module::args now mostly wastes memory.

The last users that still pointed into module::args have now been cleaned
up, so remove this data.
