Use "inst" instead of "inst_symlink" for insmod, since insmod might not
necessarily be a symlink on some distros. inst_symlink is functionally
the same as inst, with an additional check to make sure that it's a
symlink (which we don't care about either way).
The "kpatch install" command is broken because the kpatch script has
some missing dependencies in the initramfs. Make sure the new
dependencies (readelf and awk) are added to the initramfs.
Unload of kpatch module (and kpatch_shadow_hash table) before
all shadow variables free requests are processed can lead to
kernel crash.
Add rcu_barrier() to kpatch_exit() to wait for all outstanding
RCU callbacks to complete.

Bash doesn't correctly format the version string which causes the source
package to not be downloaded correctly.

The current WARN detection logic catches the majority of cases, but
there are still a lot of outliers which it doesn't catch (thanks, gcc).
I looked at a much larger sample of WARN calls and came up with a more
generic algorithm.
The _rs variable is used for printk ratelimiting, similar to __warned,
which makes it a logical candidate to be "special": don't correlate it,
yet don't mark a function as changed just because it references it.
When patching a kernel module, if we can't find a needed dynrela symbol,
we currently assume it's exported. However, it's also possible that
it's provided by another .o in the patch module. Add support for that.
Fixes#445.
Currently unbundled section references are only replaced if the start of
the symbol is referenced. It's also useful to support replacement of
references which point to inside the symbol.
Improve the static local variable correlation logic, for the case where
a static local is used by multiple functions. For each usage of the
variable, look for a corresponding usage in the base object. If we find
at least one matching usage, consider it a twin.
Fix the object unlink error handling so that each function cleans up
after itself properly.
Also use find_symbol() instead of __symbol_get() to make cleanup easier.
When patching a module we don't need a reference to each symbol, since
we already have done a try_module_get() on the module.
Fixes#392.
