livepatch: Don't block removal of patches that are safe to unload
module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should
block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still
be in use after forced transition.
klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on
the list.
In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through
the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition.
In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches
that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag:
+ only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED
state was forced.
+ all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was
forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.
