The kernel coding style generally frowns on ifdefs inside functions.
IMO it's fine to just remove the ifdef completely here.

Same here, I think the ifdef can be removed.

Same here, IMO. (And as Miroslav suggested, klp_prepare_patch_module()
can be renamed to something else (save_info()?) which exists even in the
!CONFIG_LIVEPATCH case.
