[PATCH v3 09/15] livepatch: remove unnecessary object loaded check

From: Josh Poimboeuf <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-08 18:15:47
Also in: linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: live patching, the rest · Maintainers: Josh Poimboeuf, Jiri Kosina, Miroslav Benes, Petr Mladek, Linus Torvalds

klp_patch_object()'s callers already ensure that the object is loaded,
so its call to klp_is_object_loaded() is unnecessary.

This will also make it possible to move the patching code into a
separate file.
