Prarit Bhargava 7b0b73d766 init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter
When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall foo_bar
	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted
