livepatch/klp-build: support patches that add/remove files

The klp-build script prepares a clean patch by populating two temporary
directories ('a' and 'b') with source files and diffing the result.
However, this process fails when a patch introduces a new source file,
as the script attempts to copy files that do not yet exist in the
original source tree.  Likewise, it fails when a patch removes a source
file and the script attempts to copy a file that no longer exists.

Refactor the file-gathering logic to distinguish between original input
files and patched output files:

- Split get_patch_files() into get_patch_input_files() and
  get_patch_output_files() to identify which files exist before and
  after patch application.
- Filter out "/dev/null" from both to handle file creation/deletion.
- Update refresh_patch() to only copy existing input files to the 'a'
  directory and the resulting output files to the 'b' directory.
