    params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signature · 9fb48c74

    Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked
    from parse_args(). The arg is passed as:
    
      "Booting kernel" from start_kernel(),
      initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(),
      mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one()
    
    parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
    "doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above.  parse_args() passes
    it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
    unknown option handler callbacks.
    
    The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
    since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
    "$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
    called, the module name is not otherwise available.
    
    Minor tweaks:
    
    Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
    identify the param being handled, add it.
    
    Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
    and number of registered initcalls at that level.  This adds 7 lines
    to dmesg output, like:
    
       initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls
    
    Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
    pr_info() added above.  This array is passed into parse_args() by
    do_initcall_level().
