    livepatch: Expand check for safe_for_reapply if livepatch has only .rodata.
    
    If the livepatch has only .rodata sections then it is OK to also
    apply/revert/apply the livepatch without having to worry about the
    unforseen consequences.
    
    See commit 98b728a7b235c67e210f67f789db5d9eb38ca00c
    "livepatch: Disallow applying after an revert" for details.
