[PATCH V2] x86/kexec: fix a kexec_file_load failure

[Dave Young <dyoung@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The code cleanup mentioned in Fixes tag changed the behavior of
kexec_locate_mem_hole.  The kexec_locate_mem_hole will try to
allocate free memory only when kbuf.mem is initialized as zero.

But in x86 kexec_file_load implementation there are a few places
the kbuf.mem is reused like below:
  /* kbuf initialized, kbuf.mem = 0 */
  ...
  kexec_add_buffer()
  ...
  kexec_add_buffer()

  The second kexec_add_buffer will reuse previous kbuf but not
  reinitialize the kbuf.mem.

Thus kexec_file_load failed because the sanity check failed.

So explictily reset kbuf.mem to fix the issue.
