[POC 05/23] livepatch: Initialize and free livepatch submodule

Petr Mladek
2020-01-17T15:04:00Z

Another step when loading livepatches to livepatch modules is
to initialize the structure, create sysfs entries, do livepatch
specific relocations.

These operation can fail and the objects must be freed that case.
The error message is taken from klp_module_coming() to match
selftests.
