There is no klp_free_patch() now, so the comment is not correct. Also I
don't know if the function name is ideal, but I don't have a better one.

Is this intentional? It should be sufficient (and it was before the patch) to
unlock the mutex and return ret. We do not need to free anything here. Only
klp_patch instance was initialized and that is all.
Otherwise it looks good. kobj_alive feels safer than state_initialized.
