No functional change.
This patch migrates livepatch support (i.e. used during module
add/or load and remove/or deletion) from core module code into
kernel/module/livepatch.c. At the moment it contains code to
persist Elf information about a given livepatch module, only.

Please do not do these small coding style changes. It complicates the
review and increases the risk of regressions. Different people
have different preferences. Just imagine that every half a year
someone update style of a code by his personal preferences. The
real changes will then get lost in a lot of noise.
Coding style changes might be acceptable only when the code is
reworked or when it significantly improves readability.
That said. I reviewed and tested this patch and did not find any
problem. Feel free to use:

That's not a hidden change. That's part of the move, that's required.

I disagree here. We are not talking about people's preference here but
compliance with documented Linux kernel Codying Style and handling of
official checkpatch.pl script reports.
You are right that randomly updating the style every half a year would
be a nightmare and would kill blamability of changes.
However when moving big peaces of code like this, blamability is broken
anyway and this is a very good opportunity to increase compliance of
kernel code to its own codying style. But doing it in several steps
increases code churn and has no real added value.

When code is moved around it is also a good opportunity.

Really?
1. I restored
+ if (mod->klp_info->secstrings == NULL) {
and checkpatch.pl is happy.
2. I do not see anythinkg about if (xxx == NULL) checks in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst
3. $> git grep "if (.* == NULL" | wc -l
15041
4. The result of
- mod->klp_info->sechdrs[symndx].sh_addr = \
- (unsigned long) mod->core_kallsyms.symtab;
+ mod->klp_info->sechdrs[symndx].sh_addr = (unsigned long)mod->core_kallsyms.symtab;
is 90 characeters long and Documentation/process/coding-style.rst says:
2) Breaking long lines and strings
----------------------------------
Coding style is all about readability and maintainability using commonly
available tools.
The preferred limit on the length of a single line is 80 columns.
Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible chunks,
unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does
not hide information.
checkpatch.pl accepts lines up to 100 columns but 80 are still
preferred.

From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:
One significant exception is when moving code from one file to
another -- in this case you should not modify the moved code at all in
the same patch which moves it. This clearly delineates the act of
moving the code and your changes. This greatly aids review of the
actual differences and allows tools to better track the history of
the code itself.

No!
I would not have complained if it did not complicate my review.

On mainline's kernel/module.c checkpatch.pl tells me:

By the way some maintainers require checkpatch' clean patches even when
this is only code move. I remember being requested to do that in the
past, so now I almost always do it with my own patches.

Reviewing partial code move is not easy anyway, git is not very
userfriendly with that.

Only with --strict option. Alias of this option is --subjective...

I see.
From my POV, checkpatch is an useful tool for finding obvious mistakes.
But it is just a best effort approach. It has false positives. And
some complains are controversial.
BTW: I have never heard about --strict/--subjective option. I wonder
if some maintainer requires it.

Exactly. It is a real pain to find changes in moved functions. It is
much easier when the author just shuffled the code. Anyway, the less
changes the better.
