Subject: livepatch: Disallow vmlinux.ko
Git-commit: dcf550e52f567cb7a421169d2522869f9188aca5
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
References: bsc#1071995

This is purely a theoretical issue, but if there were a module named
vmlinux.ko, the livepatch relocation code wouldn't be able to
distinguish between vmlinux-specific and vmlinux.o-specific KLP
relocations.

If CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled, don't allow a module named vmlinux.ko.
