I was debugging an issue that a livepatch appears to be attached, but
actually not. It turns out that there is a mismatch in module name
(abc-xyz vs. abc_xyz), klp_find_object_module failed to find the module.
Add a sysfs entry for each klp_object, so that it is easier to debug
such issues.

Changes v2 => v3:
1. Improve selftest. (Petr Mladek and Joe Lawrence)

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Add selftest. (Petr Mladek)
2. Update documentation. (Petr Mladek)
3. Use sysfs_emit. (Petr Mladek)
