kexec skips some load segments on ia64

There is a bug in add_loaded_segments_info, which causes that some LOAD
segments may be skipped on ia64. For two consecutive segments which cannot be
combined, the 'i' counter is incremented twice, effectively skipping over the
second segment.
For example, these are the program header of my vmlinux:
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr
FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align
LOAD 0x0000000000010000 0xa000000100000000 0x0000000004000000
0x0000000000ee0e90 0x0000000000ee0e90 RWE 10000
LOAD 0x0000000000f00000 0xfffffffffffc0000 0x0000000004f00000
0x0000000000006d80 0x0000000000006d80 RW 10000
LOAD 0x0000000000f10000 0xa000000100f40000 0x0000000004f40000
0x00000000005e3028 0x0000000000dc9198 RW 10000
NOTE 0x000000000098dc60 0xa00000010097dc60 0x000000000497dc60
0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4
IA_64_UNWIND 0x00000000009edd58 0xa0000001009ddd58 0x00000000049ddd58
0x000000000005d468 0x000000000005d468 R 8
And these are the resulting load segments:
0x6004000000 - 0x6004ef0000 (LOAD 1)
0x6004f40000 - 0x6005d10000 (LOAD 3)
0x6023fc0000 - 0x6023fc1000 (elfcorehdr)
Note: The crash kernel is loaded at 0x6004000000 on this machine.
