docs: i2c: old-module-parameters: use monospace instead of ""
Use a monospace (literal) formatting for better readability of sysfs attributes and the "dummy" client name. This looks much more readable in ReST-generated output.

Up to kernel 2.6.32, many I2C drivers used helper macros provided by

+Of course, it is important to instantiate the ``dummy`` device before loading
the driver. The dummy device will be handled by i2c-core itself, preventing
other drivers from binding to it later on. If there is a real device at the
