Livepatch needs to utilize the symbol information contained in the mod_arch_specific struct in order to be able to call the s390 apply_relocate_add() function to apply relocations. Keep a reference to syminfo if the module is a livepatch module. Remove the redundant vfree() in module_finalize() since module_arch_freeing_init() (which also frees those structures) is called in do_init_module(). If the module isn't a livepatch module, we free the structures in module_arch_freeing_init() as usual.
