livepatch: kernel: add support for live patching This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching of kernel and kernel module functions. It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and kgraft and can accept patches built using either method. This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this version.

Say Y here if you want to support kernel live patching.
This option has no runtime impact until a kernel "patch"
module uses the interface provided by this option to register
a patch, causing calls to patched functions to be redirected
to new function code contained in the patch module.
