Josh Poimboeuf 24ebfcd65a livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules
Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch
module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps:

  - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and
    -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming.

  - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same
    options.

  - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate
    intermediate binary diff objects.

  - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some
    livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c).

  - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage)
    using 'objtool klp post-link'.
