[PATCH 4/5] tracing: Replace MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN with MODULE_NAME_LEN

From: Petr Pavlu
Date: Mon Jun 30 2025 - 10:42:44 EST


Use the MODULE_NAME_LEN definition in module_exists() to obtain the maximum
size of a module name, instead of using MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN. The values
are the same but MODULE_NAME_LEN is more appropriate in this context.
MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN was added in commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check
kernel param length at compile time, not runtime") only to break a circular
dependency between module.h and moduleparam.h, and should mostly be limited
to use in moduleparam.h.

As a side note, I suspect the function module_exists() would be better
replaced with !!find_module() + RCU locking, but that is a separate issue.
