From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The swap_pages function will only actually *swap*, as its name implies,
if the preserve_context flag in the %r11 register is non-zero. On the
way back from a ::preserve_context kexec, ensure that the %r11 register
is non-zero so that the pages get swapped back.
Fixes: 9e5683e2d0b5 ("x86/kexec: Only swap pages for ::preserve_context mode")
