[ Commit 01638431c465741e071ab34acf3bef3c2570f878 upstream ]
When KASLR is enabled, the KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags
should be set to 1 to propagate KASLR status from compressed kernel to
kernel, just as the choose_random_location() function does.
Currently, when the kernel is booted via the EFI stub, the KASLR_FLAG
bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags is not set, even though it should be.
This causes some functions, such as kernel_randomize_memory(), not to
execute as expected. Fix it.
Fixes: a1b87d54f4e4 ("x86/efistub: Avoid legacy decompressor when doing EFI boot")
