Subject: [PATCH 0/2] livepatch: fix patch module loading race

Patch 1/2 removes the extra klp_find_object_module() call, as we discussed.
It's a prerequisite for making the 2nd patch simpler.

Patch 2/2 is a fixed up version of the scratch patch I posted earlier today,
with better comments and a few simplifications which are possible with the
single caller to klp_find_object_module().

Josh Poimboeuf (2):
  livepatch: remove unnecessary call to klp_find_object_module()
  livepatch: fix patched module loading race
