[PATCH 1/2] livepatch: remove unnecessary call to klp_find_object_module()

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue Mar 03 2015 - 18:03:15 EST


klp_find_object_module() is called from both the klp register and enable
paths. Only the call from the register path is necessary because the
module notifier will let us know if the patched module gets loaded or
unloaded.
