livepatch: Don't block removal of patches that are safe to unload
module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still be in use after forced transition. klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on the list. In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition. In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag: + only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED state was forced. + all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.
