Re: [PATCH] livepatch: old_name.number scheme in livepatch sysfs directory

The following directory structure will allow for cases when the same
function name exists in a single object.
	/sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/<object>/<function.number>

The number is incremented on each known initialized func kobj thus creating
unique names in this case.

An example of this issue is documented here:
	https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/493
