Operator error on my part. I was looking at a different directory with
an old branch checked out. Sorry!

It seems to be working fine for me. No crashes in a loop for a few
minutes, when it would usually only take a couple of tries to reproduce
the issue for me.

I'll see if I can better reproduce the race from the ftrace side since
every crash I have seen for this issue has been in apply_relocate_add
on the livepatch side.
