Miroslav Benes c99a2be790 livepatch: force transition to finish ... If a task sleeps in a set of patched functions uninterruptedly, it could block the whole transition indefinitely. Thus it may be useful to clear its TIF_PATCH_PENDING to allow the process to finish. Admin can do that now by writing to force sysfs attribute in livepatch sysfs directory. TIF_PATCH_PENDING is then cleared for all tasks and the transition can finish successfully. Important note! Administrator should not use this feature without a clearance from a patch distributor. It must be checked that by doing so the consistency model guarantees are not violated. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently disabled when the feature is used. It cannot be guaranteed there is no task sleeping in such module.
