Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. An instance
where module_param was used without moduleparam.h was also fixed,
as well as implicit use of ptrace.h and string.h headers.

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.
Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
canappropriately identify and initialize it.

There is no need for livepatch.h (generic and arch-specific) to depend
on CONFIG_LIVEPATCH. Remove that superfluous dependency.

There is an #error in asm/livepatch.h for both x86 and s390 in
!CONFIG_LIVEPATCH cases. It does not make much sense as pointed out by
Michael Ellerman. One can happily include asm/livepatch.h with
CONFIG_LIVEPATCH. Remove it as useless.

If anyone includes asm/livepatch.h when CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=n the build
fails with the existing error message. Change it to something saner.

This is a trivial port from kGraft. Module relocations are not supported yet.
