do_kexec_load() can be called directly by compat_sys_kexec() as long as
the same parameters checks are completed which are currently handled
(also) by sys_kexec(). Therefore, move those to kexec_load_check(),
call that newly introduced helper function from both sys_kexec() and
compat_sys_kexec(), and duplicate the remaining code from sys_kexec()
in compat_sys_kexec().
This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
