dmatest: restore ability to start test at module load and init
1/ move 'run' control to a module parameter so we can do: modprobe dmatest run=1. With this moved the rest of the debugfs boilerplate can go. 2/ Fix parameter initialization. Previously the test was being started without taking the parameters into account in the built-in case. Also killed off the '__' version of some routines. The new rule is just hold the lock when calling a *threaded_test() routine.
