[PATCH] kexec: return error of machine_kexec() fails

[Simon Horman]

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Prior to commit 3ab8352 "kexec jump", if machine_kexec() returned,
sys_reboot() would return -EINVAL. This patch restores this behaviour
for the non-KEXEC_JUMP case, where machine_kexec() is not expected to
return.

This situation can occur on ARM, where kexec requires disabling all but
one CPU using CPU hotplug. However, if hotplug isn't supported by the
particular HW the kernel is running on, then kexec cannot succeed.
