[RFC v2 18/43] kexec: PKRAM: avoid clobbering already preserved pages

Ensure destination ranges of the kexec segments do not overlap
with any kernel pages marked to be preserved across kexec.

For kexec_load, return EADDRNOTAVAIL if overlap is detected.

For kexec_file_load, skip ranges containing preserved pages when
seaching for available ranges to use.
