livepatch: Don't block the removal of patches loaded after a forced transition
module_put() is currently never called in klp_complete_transition() when
klp_force is set. As a result, we might keep the reference count even when
klp_enable_patch() fails and klp_cancel_transition() is called.
This might give the impression that a module might get blocked in some
strange init state. Fortunately, it is not the case. The reference count
is ignored when mod->init fails and erroneous modules are always removed.
Anyway, this might be confusing. Instead, this patch moves
the global klp_forced flag into struct klp_patch. As a result,
we block only modules that might still be in use after a forced
transition. Newly loaded livepatches might be eventually completely
removed later.
It is not a big deal. But the code is at least consistent with
the reality.
