Unlike fedora, ubuntu doesn't keep older versions of kernel sources in
their archive so we need to have them predownloaded.

run_custom_test used global "file" variable instead of local "testprog"
to deduce "prefix", so it would sometimes report wrong name for running
test.

While adding proper linker script option my previous patch left the
linker script in the list of source files (on pre-4.20 kernels) for
ld somehow breaking kpatch callback sections. For this to work
properly kpatch.lds needs to be added to 'extra-y' instead of objs. And
for kbuild to process this option properly we need to call make without
the .ko target, i.e. let kbuild decide what to build.

4.20 includes commit 69ea912fda74 "kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps"
which changes kbuild so that only '.o' files are given to ld as targets
for linking, leaving out our linker script. Even before this commit we
were still doing this wrong and were succeeding just because ld is smart
enough to detect the script, it even throws a warning:
ld: warning: kpatch.lds contains output sections; did you forget -T?
The right thing to do is to add the script to ldflags either through
kbuilds 'ldflags-y' or by adding it to LDFLAGS/KPATCH_LDFLAGS directly.

Sometimes due to config-dependency issues or other reasons whole
object-files would get optimized out from final vmlinux/module, in cases
like this create-diff-object would fail during symbol lookup table
creation in lookup_open(). Because lookup_open() call is situated before
we established that objectfile has changed this triggers not only on
real problems, but also during mass-rebulds caused by changes to
header-files. While it usually indicates a real issue with config this
should not prevent kpatch from building.
Move lookup_open() call so that it is called only for changed
object-files.

Starting with 1b1eeca7e4c1 "init: allow initcall tables to be emitted using
relative references" [1] __init functions are generating an "__addressable_"
symbol in a ".discarded.addressable" section so it does not show up in final
vmlinux triggering find_local_syms failures. Add "_addressable_" to the list
in maybe_discarded_sym().

symtab_read() would previously skip entries with blank names resulting
in some of important entries being skipped. For instance vmlinux file
has an STT_FILE entry at the end with a blank name that contains global
offset table. Because it was skipped all of the global entries from this
table were considered a part of previous processed file resulting in
create-diff-object failing in find_local_syms().
