livepatch: Use lists to manage patches, objects and functions
Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk. The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes to the code. This patch does not change the existing behavior.
