livepatch/klp-build: Add stub init code for livepatch modules Add a module initialization stub which can be linked with binary diff objects to produce a livepatch module.

livepatch: Fix having __klp_objects relics in non-livepatch modules The linker script scripts/module.lds.S specifies that all input __klp_objects sections should be consolidated into an output section of the same name, and start/stop symbols should be created to enable scripts/livepatch/init.c to locate this data. This start/stop pattern is not ideal for modules because the symbols are created even if no __klp_objects input sections are present. Consequently, a dummy __klp_objects section also appears in the resulting module. This unnecessarily pollutes non-livepatch modules. Instead, since modules are relocatable files, the usual method for locating consolidated data in a module is to read its section table. This approach avoids the aforementioned problem. The klp_modinfo already stores a copy of the entire section table with the final addresses. Introduce a helper function that scripts/livepatch/init.c can call to obtain the location of the __klp_objects section from this data.

livepatch: Free klp_{object,func}_ext data after initialization The klp_object_ext and klp_func_ext data, which are stored in the __klp_objects and __klp_funcs sections, respectively, are not needed after they are used to create the actual klp_object and klp_func instances. This operation is implemented by the init function in scripts/livepatch/init.c. Prefix the two sections with ".init" so they are freed after the module is initializated.
