Patches based on linux-next.

Previous patchset (v5) found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1458157628-8264-1-git-send-email-jeyu@redhat.com

v6:
- Since we hard-code the field widths for the objname and symbol name
  for the sscanf() calls, which are supposed to correspond to the values
  of MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN, use BUILD_BUG_ON() to detect when
  the values of these constants deviate from the expected values.
- Squash the sample livepatch module patch into patch 4
  ("livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations") so
  git bisects don't break
- Don't need the klp_buf struct, just use plain char arrays to hold the
  output of sscanf(). Also, no need to clear the bufs after every
  invocation, as sscanf() takes care to put a null byte at the end of
  the bufs.
- Fix compiler kbuild errors for the !CONFIG_LIVEPATCH case
- Fixed some small module.c nits

Pinging Rusty, just in case this thread got buried :-)
How do the module.c changes look?

Thanks,
Jessica
