[PATCH v5 5/9] livepatch: Deprecate stack_order

stack_order is no longer needed for atomic-replace livepatches, as a
single function can only be modified by a unique replace_set.
Since this livepatch sysfs interface is mainly intended for kernel
developers, backward compatibility does not need to be maintained.
