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.

And also remove the incorrect elf header buffer freeing code. Before
calling arch specific kexec_file loading function, the image instance
has been initialized. So 'image->elf_headers' must be NULL. It doesn't
make sense to free the elf header buffer in the place.
