Subject: [PATCH] livepatch: add load/unload hooks to objects

It can be useful to execute hook functions whenever a livepatch is applied
or unapplied to a particular object. Currently this is possible by writing
logic in the __init function of the livepatch kernel module. However to
handle executing functions when a module loads requires an additional
module notifier to be set up with the correct priority.

By using load/unload hooks we can execute these functions using the
existing livepatch notifier infrastructure and ensure consistent ordering
of notifications.

The load hook executes right before enabling functions, and the unload hook
executes right after disabling functions.
