livepatch: Remove custom kobject state handling
kobject_init() always succeeds and sets the reference count to 1. It allows to always free the structures via kobject_put() and the related release callback. Note that the custom kobject state handling was used only because we did not know that kobject_put() can and actually should get called even when kobject_init_and_add() fails. The patch should not change the existing behavior. Suggested-by: "Tobin C. Harding" <tobin@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Kamalesh Babulal <kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
