All three versions of klp_arch_set_pc() do exactly the same: they
call ftrace_instruction_pointer_set().

Call ftrace_instruction_pointer_set() directly and remove
klp_arch_set_pc().

As klp_arch_set_pc() was the only thing remaining in asm/livepatch.h
on x86 and s390, remove asm/livepatch.h

livepatch.h remains on powerpc but its content is exclusively used
by powerpc specific code.

I am going to take it via livepatch/livepatch.git for 5.19. We are
already in the middle of the merge window and this is not critical.
I haven't seen it in linux-next.

Do you still plan to take it for 5.19 ?
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. I have completely forgot about
this patch /o\

I have just pushed it into livepatching/livepatching.git,
branch for-5.19/cleanup.

I am going to create pull request for 5.19 by the end of this week
after it gets a spin in linux-next.

Best Regards,
Petr
