module_param: add __same_type convenience wrapper for __builtin_types_compatible_p

Impact: new API

__builtin_types_compatible_p() is a little awkward to use: it takes two
types rather than types or variables, and it's just damn long.

(typeof(type) == type, so this works on types as well as vars).
