selftests/livepatch: better synchronize test_klp_callbacks_busy
The test_klp_callbacks_busy module conditionally blocks a future
livepatch transition by busy waiting inside its workqueue function,
busymod_work_func(). After scheduling this work, a test livepatch is
loaded, introducing the transition under test.
Both events are marked in the kernel log for later verification, but
there is no synchronization to ensure that busymod_work_func() logs its
function entry message before subsequent selftest commands log their own
messages. This can lead to a rare test failure due to unexpected
ordering like:

Force the module init function to wait until busymod_work_func() has
started (and logged its message), before exiting to the next selftest
steps.
