[PATCH v2 02/12] klp-build: Process the patches before building the original kernel

[Song Liu <song@kernel.org>]

klp-build validates the patches before building the original kernel,
but only combines them and adds #line directives after the build, which
applies and reverts them a second time.  Nothing in the second step
needs the original build, but the errors it finds, like patches with no
net effect, only show up after a full kernel build.

Do both in one step, before the build.  process_patches() checks for
patches to unsupported files, then applies the patches in order, which
also catches patches that don't apply and warns about those which apply
with fuzz, and combines them.
