livepatch: separate enabled and patched states
Once we have a consistency model, patches and their objects will be enabled and disabled at different times. For example, when a patch is disabled, its loaded objects' funcs can remain registered with ftrace indefinitely until the unpatching operation is complete and they're no longer in use. It's less confusing if we give them different names: patches can be enabled or disabled; objects (and their funcs) can be patched or unpatched: - Enabled means that a patch is logically enabled (but not necessarily fully applied). - Patched means that an object's funcs are registered with ftrace and added to the klp_ops func stack. Also, since these states are binary, represent them with booleans instead of ints.
