[PATCH 1/2] x86/kexec: Use up-to-dated screen_info copy to fill boot params

[Kairui Song]

kexec_file_load now just reuse the old boot_params.screen_info.
But if drivers have change the hardware state, boot_param.screen_info
could contain invalid info.

For example, the video type might be no longer VGA, or frame buffer
address changed. If kexec kernel keep using the old screen_info,
kexec'ed kernel may attempt to write to an invalid framebuffer
memory region.

There are two screen_info globally available, boot_params.screen_info
and screen_info. Later one is a copy, and could be updated by drivers.

So let kexec_file_load use the updated copy.
