selftests/livepatch: filter debug messages in check_result()

CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT makes kobject_add_internal(), kobject_uevent_env(),
fill_kobj_path() and friends emit pr_debug() messages, and
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE makes kobject_release() emit a pr_info()
for every delayed kobject free.  All of these carry the "kobject:" prefix
via pr_fmt(), e.g.:

The livepatch test modules' kobjects are named "test_klp_*", so these
lines match the check_result() grep for "test_klp" and leak into the
result.  The extra lines no longer match the expected output, so the
selftests fail when either debug config is enabled.

Filtering out every "kobject:" line also hides real WARN()s, e.g. the
one kobject_get() emits for an object whose refcount was not
initialized.  Filtering with "dmesg --level=..." is not enough either,
since the tests enable livepatch pr_debug() through dynamic_debug/control
and expect its messages.  Read the log with "dmesg --raw" and drop only
the debug-level messages without the "livepatch:" prefix, plus the
specific delayed-release info message.
