Subject: [PATCH] kpatch script: don't fail if module already loaded+enabled
For "kpatch load" invocations, don't set failing return status if the
kpatch module is already loaded and enabled. Make note of the existing
livepatch module and then verify that is has completed its transition
before continuing. This allows the user to more gracefully re-run
"kpatch load" commands to pick up new kpatch modules.
Fixes: #979
