[PATCH v2 1/7] kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to control debug printing

When specifying 'kexec -c -d', kexec_load interface will print loading
information, e.g the regions where kernel/initrd/purgatory/cmdline
are put, the memmap passed to 2nd kernel taken as system RAM ranges,
and printing all contents of struct kexec_segment, etc. These are
very helpful for analyzing or positioning what's happening when
kexec/kdump itself failed. The debugging printing for kexec_load
interface is made in user space utility kexec-tools.
Whereas, with kexec_file_load interface, 'kexec -s -d' print nothing.
Because kexec_file code is mostly implemented in kernel space, and the
debugging printing functionality is missed. It's not convenient when
debugging kexec/kdump loading and jumping with kexec_file_load
interface.
Now add KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kexec_file flag to control the debugging
message printing. And add global variable kexec_file_dbg_print and
macro kexec_dprintk() to facilitate the printing.
This is a preparation, later kexec_dprintk() will be used to replace the
existing pr_debug(). Once 'kexec -s -d' is specified, it will print out
kexec/kdump loading information at KERN_INFO level. If '-d' is not
specified, it regresses to print message at KERN_DEBUG level.

v1->v2:
- Rewrite the kexec_dprintk() macro as Joe suggested to reduce kernel
text size.
