klp-build: Fix patch cleanup on interrupt

If a build error occurs and the user hits Ctrl-C while a large patch is
being reverted during cleanup, the cleanup EXIT trap gets re-triggered
and tries to re-revert the already partially-reverted patch.  That
causes 'patch -R' to repeatedly prompt

  "Unreversed patch detected!  Ignore -R? [n]"

for each already-reverted hunk, with no way to break out.

Fix it by adding '--force' to the patch revert command in
revert_patch(), which causes it to silently ignore already-reverted
hunks.  And ignore errors, as the cleanup is always best-effort.

For similar reasons, add to APPLIED_PATCHES before (rather than after)
applying the patch in apply_patch() so an interrupted apply will also
get cleaned up.
