Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Periodic fake signal

I somehow forgot about this patch set. The discussion about v1 was
inconclusive, so I'm sending it again with changes according to the
feedback I got. I still think it is useful, so please consider.

Changes since v1:
- timeout changed to 15 seconds (Josh)
- make it wait for 15 seconds, no more, no less (Josh)
- the message in klp_send_signals() is printed only once per transition
  (Josh)
- the counter is zeroed in klp_start_transition(), so that even
  klp_reverse_transition() starts correctly (Petr)

  livepatch: Send a fake signal periodically
  livepatch: Remove signal sysfs attribute
