x86/kexec: Ensure preserve_context flag is set on return to kernel
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")
