klp-build fixes the input patches before building the patched kernel: it combines them into a single patch against the original source and adds #line directives, so that unchanged functions further down a patched file keep their __LINE__ values. This only happens after the original kernel has been built, so seeing the result, or testing this step, takes a full kernel build and --keep-tmp.
Add a --patch-only option which validates and fixes the patches, prints the fixed patch to stdout, and exits without building. It skips the .config checks and the kernel version setup, which only matter for building, so the tree it runs in doesn't need to be configured. It uses a private tmp dir rather than klp-tmp, which may hold a previous build that a later --short-circuit run wants to reuse.
