[PATCH v5 4/5] kexec: Add option to fall back to KEXEC_LOAD when KEXEC_FILE_LOAD is not supported

Not all architectures implement KEXEC_FILE_LOAD. However, on some
archiectures KEXEC_FILE_LOAD is required when secure boot is enabled in
locked-down mode. Previously users had to select the KEXEC_FILE_LOAD
syscall with undocumented -s option. However, if they did pass the
option kexec would fail on architectures that do not support it.

So add an -a option that tries KEXEC_FILE_LOAD and when it is not
supported tries KEXEC_LOAD.

v3: instead of changing the deafult add extra option
v4: actually check -ENOSYS as well
v5: add missing break
