kernel: param: rename locate_module_kobject

[ Upstream commit bbc9462 ]

The locate_module_kobject() function looks up an existing
module_kobject for a given module name. If it cannot find the
corresponding module_kobject, it creates one for the given name.

This commit renames locate_module_kobject() to
lookup_or_create_module_kobject() to better describe its operations.

This doesn't change anything functionality wise.
