Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] selftests/livepatch: rework of test-klp-{callbacks,shadow_vars}

v2:
 - drop completion variables and flush workqueue [pmladek]
 - comment typo/pr_info cleanup [kbabulal/mbenes]
 - cleanup goto ret assignations [pmladek]
 - allocate pndup[]'s, leave some svar allocations to
   shadow_get_or_alloc() [pmladek]
 - change allocation order for cleaner test dmesg output [pmladek]

The test-klp-callbacks change implements a synchronization replacement of
initial code which relied on solely on sleep delays. Remove the sleeps
and pass a block_transition flag from test script to module. Use
flush_workqueue() to serialize module output for test result
consideration.

The test-klp-shadow-vars changes first refactors the code to be more of
a readable example as well as continuing to verify the component code.
The patch is broken in two to display the renaming and restructuring in
part 1 and the addition and change of logic in part 2. The last change
frees memory before bailing in case of errors.
