It seems that the sample has been renamed without updating
the Makefile rule. There should be:

+obj-$(CONFIG_SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH) += livepatch-extern-symbol.o

Otherwise, I get:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'samples/livepatch/livepatch-annotated-sample.o', needed by 'samples/livepatch/'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:485: samples/livepatch] Error 2

The test module works as expected after fixing the Makefile.
