kernel/livepatch/ does not use klp_arch_set_pc() anymore. It was replaced 
by ftrace_instruction_pointer_set() and 
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

This is not needed either. peterz improved the ftrace code and livepatch 
now uses ftrace_location() which gives the proper location directly.

The rest should be fine.
