Put all actions in complete_formation() that are performed after
module->state is set to MODULE_STATE_COMING into a separate function
prepare_coming_module(). This split prepares for the removal of the
livepatch module notifiers in favor of hard-coding function calls to
klp_module_{coming,going} in the module loader.
The complete_formation -> prepare_coming_module split will also make error
handling easier since we can jump to the appropriate error label to do any
module GOING cleanup after all the COMING-actions have completed.

Remove the livepatch module notifier in favor of directly enabling and
disabling patches to modules in the module loader. Hard-coding the
function calls ensures that ftrace_module_enable() is run before
klp_module_coming() during module load, and that klp_module_going() is
run before ftrace_release_mod() during module unload. This way, ftrace
and livepatch code is run in the correct order during the module
load/unload sequence without dependence on the module notifier call chain.
