The code calling ima_free_kexec_buffer runs long after the memblock allocator has already been torn down, potentially resulting in a use after free in memblock_isolate_range. With KASAN or KFENCE, this use after free will result in a BUG from the idle task, and a subsequent kernel panic. Switch ima_free_kexec_buffer over to memblock_free_late to avoid that issue.
