[PATCH 1/3] livepatch: Nullify obj->mod in klp_module_coming()'s error path

[Miroslav Benes]

klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system.
It sets obj->mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately
it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the
patched module is not allowed to be loaded.

klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj->mod variable and could currently give a
wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now, but we're
gonna rely on klp_is_object_loaded() and correct obj->mod much more and
the bug would be visible then.
