The following directory structure will allow for cases when the same
function name exists in a single object.
/sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/<object>/<function.number>
The number is incremented on each known initialized func kobj thus creating
unique names in this case.
An example of this issue is documented here:
https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/493
