Hi Petr,

Another step when loading livepatches to livepatch modules is
to initialize the structure, create sysfs entries, do livepatch
specific relocations.

These operation can fail and the objects must be freed that case.
The error message is taken from klp_module_coming() to match
selftests.

klp_init_object_early() can fail after adding obj to patch->obj_list. This wouldn't get cleaned up by the "err" path.

It probably would keep things simple to only add obj to patch->obj_list if early initialization is successful in patch 2 (ofc I'm talking about the actual patch of this patch series ;) ).
