[PATCH v3 1/2] livepatch: add sysfs entry "patched" for each klp_object

Add per klp_object sysfs entry "patched". It makes it easier to debug
typos in the module name.

I was debugging an issue that a livepatch appears to be attached, but
actually not. It turns out that there is a mismatch in module name
(abc-xyz vs. abc_xyz), klp_find_object_module failed to find the module.
