kexec_file: make use of purgatory optional

Patch series "kexec_file, x86, powerpc: refactoring for other
architecutres", v2.

This is a preparatory patchset for adding kexec_file support on arm64.

It was originally included in a arm64 patch set[1], but Philipp is also
working on their kexec_file support on s390[2] and some changes are now
conflicting.

So these common parts were extracted and put into a separate patch set
for better integration.  What's more, my original patch#4 was split into
a few small chunks for easier review after Dave's comment.

As such, the resulting code is basically identical with my original, and
the only *visible* differences are:

 - renaming of _kexec_kernel_image_probe() and  _kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()

 - change one of types of arguments at prepare_elf64_headers()

Those, unfortunately, require a couple of trivial changes on the rest
(#1, #6 to #13) of my arm64 kexec_file patch set[1].

Patch #1 allows making a use of purgatory optional, particularly useful
for arm64.

Patch #2 commonalizes arch_kexec_kernel_{image_probe, image_load,
verify_sig}() and arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() across
architectures.

Patches #3-#7 are also intended to generalize parse_elf64_headers(),
along with exclude_mem_range(), to be made best re-use of.

This patch (of 7):

On arm64, crash dump kernel's usable memory is protected by *unmapping*
it from kernel virtual space unlike other architectures where the region
is just made read-only.  It is highly unlikely that the region is
accidentally corrupted and this observation rationalizes that digest
check code can also be dropped from purgatory.  The resulting code is so
simple as it doesn't require a bit ugly re-linking/relocation stuff,
i.e.  arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add().

Please see:

   http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-December/545428.html

All that the purgatory does is to shuffle arguments and jump into a new
kernel, while we still need to have some space for a hash value
(purgatory_sha256_digest) which is never checked against.

As such, it doesn't make sense to have trampline code between old kernel
and new kernel on arm64.

This patch introduces a new configuration, ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY, and
allows related code to be compiled in only if necessary.
