The information about forced livepatch transition is currently stored
in struct klp_patch. But there is not any obvious safe way how to
access it when the split livepatch modules are removed.
If that's the only motivation to do this, klp_objects could have a
reference to the klp_patch they are part of. This could easily be set
when adding the klp_object to the klp_patch->obj_list in
klp_init_object_early() .
Having this reference could also prove useful in future scenarios.
