livepatch: Remove custom kobject state handling
kobject_init() always succeeds and sets the reference count to 1. It allows to always free the structures via kobject_put() and the related release callback. Note that the custom kobject state handling was used only because we did not know that kobject_put() can and actually should get called even when kobject_init_and_add() fails. The patch should not change the existing behavior. Suggested-by: "Tobin C.
