There is a small minor fix here, where by using mod_check_sig() now
decreased the kernel_len by the sizeof(*ms). It is minor though.

More importantly is the return value used here changes but given the
Ack by Heiko I suspect this if fine and does not break old userspace,
the only change here is the possible error value returned by the
kexec_file_load() system call.
