[PATCH 1/2] livepatch: Nullify obj->mod in klp_module_coming()'s error path

From: Miroslav Benes
Date: Fri Jul 19 2019 - 08:28:46 EST


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.
