In some build systems symlinks might be used for patch file names

Livepatch-build obtains hotpatch name from the patch file, so it
should not canonicalize the file path resolving all the symlinks to
not lose the original symlink name.

This works, but would it not be simpler to just pass $patcharg into 
make_patch_name()?


No strong opinion here, but the readlink change felt less invasive (no changes 
to the existing semantics).

Thank you for looking into this.



OK, that's fine then.
