Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.

In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
to apply those relocations.

In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.

I think all the above string parsing code could be replaced with a
couple of sscanf() calls.

For example:

	char objname[64], symname[256];

	ret = sscanf(s, ".klp.sym.%63[^.].%255[^,],%u", objname, symname, &sympos);
	if (ret < 3)
		// string doesn't match expected format

That would be much simpler.

Only problem is, the kernel version of sscanf() doesn't seem to support
the '[' conversion specifier.  At least not yet ;-)  Adding support for
that would be a win-win: less code overall, and the addition of a useful
scanf feature which could be used by other code.

Ah, I had completely forgotten that we have sscanf() in the kernel :-)
That would look *much* nicer, assuming we can get kernel sscanf() to
support the bracket character classes..
