Subject: [PATCH 6/7] livepatch: Remove module_disable_ro() usage
Date:   Tue, 14 Apr 2020 11:28:42 -0500

With arch_klp_init_object_loaded() gone, and apply_relocate_add() now
using text_poke(), livepatch no longer needs to use module_disable_ro().

The text_mutex usage can also be removed -- its purpose was to protect
against module permission change races.
