[PATCH v5 00/13] module: core code clean up

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com>]

Hi Luis,

As per your suggestion [1], this is an attempt to refactor and split
optional code out of core module support code into separate components.
This version is based on Linus' commit e6251ab4551f ("Merge tag
'nfs-for-5.17-2' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/anna/linux-nfs").
Please let me know your thoughts. So far, no feedback from 0-day; albeit,
if I see something, I'll let you know.

Changes since v1 [2]:

  - Moved module version support code into a new file

Changes since v2 [3]:

 - Moved module decompress support to a separate file
 - Made check_modinfo_livepatch() generic (Petr Mladek)
 - Removed filename from each newly created file (Luis Chamberlain)
 - Addressed some (i.e. --ignore=ASSIGN_IN_IF,AVOID_BUG was used)
   minor scripts/checkpatch.pl concerns e.g., use strscpy over
   strlcpy and missing a blank line after declarations (Allen)

Changes since v3 [4]:

 - Refactored both is_livepatch_module() and set_livepatch_module(),
   respectively, to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LIVEPATCH) (Joe Perches)
 - Addressed various compiler warnings e.g., no previous prototype (0-day)

Changes since v4 [5]:

 - Dropped RFC (Luis Chamberlain)
 - Moved is_livepatch_module() and set_livepatch_module() to
   kernel/module/livepatch.c; set_livepatch_module() will
   remain for internal use only
 - Addressed minor compiler warning concerning
   kernel/module/internal.h (0-day)
 - Resolved style violations reported by scripts/checkpatch.pl
 - Dropped patch 5 [6] so external patch [7] can be applied at
   a later date post merge into module-next (Christophe Leroy)
