Reorder structure kparam_array to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on
64 bit builds, dropping its size from 40 to 32 bytes.

Also update the macro module_param_array_named to initialise the
structure using its member names to allow it to be changed without
touching all its call sites.

'git grep' finds module_param_array in 1037 places so this patch will
save a small amount of data space across many modules.
