Add two parameters to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.
The sysadmin can set different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot
kernels.
The value can be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a value
smaller than the current one (except -1).

+kexec_load_limit_panic
+======================
+
+This parameter specifies a limit to the number of times the syscalls
+``kexec_load`` and ``kexec_file_load`` can be called with a crash
+image. It can only be set with a more restrictive value than the
+current one.

+= =============================================================
+-1 Unlimited calls to kexec. This is the default setting.
+N Number of calls left.

+kexec_load_limit_reboot
+======================
+
+Similar functionality as ``kexec_load_limit_panic``, but for a crash
+image.
