Petr Mladek 0430f78bf3 livepatch: Consolidate klp_free functions
The code for freeing livepatch structures is a bit scattered and tricky:

  + direct calls to klp_free_*_limited() and kobject_put() are
    used to release partially initialized objects

  + klp_free_patch() removes the patch from the public list
    and releases all objects except for patch->kobj

  + object_put(&patch->kobj) and the related wait_for_completion()
    are called directly outside klp_mutex; this code is duplicated;

Now, we are going to remove the registration stage to simplify the API
and the code. This would require handling more situations in
klp_enable_patch() error paths.

More importantly, we are going to add a feature called atomic replace.
It will need to dynamically create func and object structures. We will
want to reuse the existing init() and free() functions. This would
create even more error path scenarios.

This patch implements more straightforward free functions:

  + checks kobj_added flag instead of @limit[*]

  + initializes patch->list early so that the check for empty list
    always works

  + The action(s) that has to be done outside klp_mutex are done
    in separate klp_free_patch_finish() function. It waits only
    when patch->kobj was really released via the _start() part.

The patch does not change the existing behavior.

[*] We need our own flag to track that the kobject was successfully
    added to the hierarchy.  Note that kobj.state_initialized only
    indicates that kobject has been initialized, not whether is has
    been added (and needs to be removed on cleanup).
