In crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), a buffer is allocated via vmalloc() to
store elf headers. While it's not freed back to system correctly when
kdump kernel is reloaded or unloaded. Then memory leak is caused.
Fix it by introducing x86 specific function
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup(), and freeing the buffer there.
