The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of tree.c is:
init/Kconfig:config TREE_RCU
init/Kconfig: bool
...and update.c and sync.c are "obj-y" meaning that none are ever
built as a module by anyone.
Since MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code, we can remove
them from these files.
We leave moduleparam.h behind since the files instantiate some boot
time configuration parameters with module_param() still.

Queued for testing and review, thank you! Initial tests show that the
"#define MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX" does the job without the MODULE_ALIAS(),
so that part is good. ;-)
Thanx, Paul
