[PATCH 3/3] kexec_file: correctly output debugging information for the PT_LOAD elf header

Currently, when we enable the debugging switch to debug kexec_file,
always get the following wrong results:

kexec_file: Crash PT_LOAD elf header. phdr=00000000c988639b vaddr=0x0, paddr=0x0, sz=0x0 e_phnum=51 p_offset=0x0

The reason is that kernel always prints the values of the next PT_LOAD
instead of the current PT_LOAD. Change it to ensure that we can get the
correct debugging information.
