Subject: [PATCH] livepatch: unpatch all klp_objects if klp_module_coming fails

When an incoming module is considered for livepatching by
klp_module_coming(), it iterates over multiple patches and multiple
kernel objects in this order:

	list_for_each_entry(patch, &klp_patches, list) {
		klp_for_each_object(patch, obj) {

which means that if one of the kernel objects fails to patch,
klp_module_coming()'s error path needs to unpatch and cleanup any kernel
objects that were already patched by a previous patch.

Reported-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@...e.cz>

v1:
  - separated this patch from the klp_callbacks patchset
  - adopted Petr's suggestion to reuse code from klp_module_going()
