The kpatch_regenerate_* functions use a local list_head to construct the
new list. While the local list_head is copied to the sec->relas after
it is built, the neighboring nodes in the list are not updated, leading
to list corruption.
This commit uses list_replace() which updates the neighbor nodes properly.
Regression introduced by PR #1175d36dd1.
Fixes#185.

This adds dynamic linking support for the patch modules. It is the
first step toward supporting patching module code and relocatable
kernels.
Rela entries that reference non-included local and non-exported global
symbols are converted to "dynrelas". These dynrelas are relocations
that are done by the core module, not the kernel module linker. This
allows the core module to apply offsets to the base addresses found
in the base vmlinux or module.

In preparation for dynamic symbol linking, the symbol lookup logic
is going to move into create-diff-obj anyway. We might as well
minimize the code duplication and pull this into create-diff-obj.
This avoids having to re-parse the ELF file modify it in-place.

Make kpatch_funs truly internal by:
Defining it in core.c
Adding a struct kpatch_internal, declared in kpatch.h and defined in
core.c, that contains per patch module internal data.
Adding an "internal" field to struct kpatch_modules.
Allocating internal and funcs data in core.c, not in the patch module,
since the patch module has no knowledge of kpatch_func anymore.
Adding a "patch" field to kpatch_func that points directly to the
kpatch_patch provided by the module (rather than a field-by-field copy)

Add the null symbol to in inventory files. Before the linked-link
change, the null symbol wasn't included in the inventory. However,
it is required to be a valid ELF file and should be inventoried and
check for in the test.

The error likes:

#include <linux/preempt_mask.h>
I feel sorry to introduce this problem from my laster commit 6c2d6444.
Some old kernel doesn't have header file preempt_mask.h, and the safe
way is using hardirq.h to find in_nmi().

Having a '.' in the kmod name confuses lsmod, which prints "Size" and
"Used by" values of -2. Prevent any special characters other than '_'
and '-', so that our patch module names will be consistent with typical
kmod names.
