[Nouveau] [PATCH] module parameters: permissions as defines, readable to everyone

For the purposes of the module parameters,
specifies the permissions of the corresponding files in sysfs in predefined S_I*
form rather than in octal notation.
Withal it makes the source code more consistent.
Moreover, because all parameters are readable to everyone, it is more
user-friendly.

$ grep S_IRUGO include/linux/stat.h
#define S_IRUGO		(S_IRUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH)

$ grep 'S_IRUSR\|S_IRGRP\|S_IROTH' include/uapi/linux/stat.h
#define S_IRUSR 00400
#define S_IRGRP 00040
#define S_IROTH 00004

I definitely find octal *way* more readable for permissions than those
S_* macros. Apparently others agree with me, have a look at 'git grep
module_param_named drivers/gpu/drm' - note lack of the silly macros.

I'd be fine with flipping everything to 0444 though. Not sure why it
was so restrictive right now.
