Thanks for bringing up this issue and providing the fix and the explanation.

Yes, you are right about it. This is a leftover issue of commit 
9ec4ecef0af7790551109283ca039a7c52de343c ("kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor 
out kexec_file_ops functions"),
     
     As arch_kexec_kernel_image_{probe,load}(),
     arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() and arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()
     are almost duplicated among architectures, they can be commonalized with
     an architecture-defined kexec_file_ops array.  So let's factor them out.

That commit moves the architecture specific implementation of 
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig to kexec_file_ops->verify_sig. So actually 
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig should be removed. Then we rename
kexec_image_verify_sig_default to kimage_validate_signature and call 
it in kimage_validate_signature directly. I'll include a new patch to do 
the clean-up work in v3.
