[PATCH v2] LoongArch: Load vmlinux.efi to the link address

Currently, kexec loads vmlinux.efi to address 0 instead of the link
address. This causes kexec to fail to boot the new vmlinux.efi on qemu.

  kexec_load: entry = 0x13f1000 flags = 0x1020000
  nr_segments = 2
  segment[0].buf   = 0x7fffeea38010
  segment[0].bufsz = 0x1b55200
  segment[0].mem   = (nil)
  segment[0].memsz = 0x1ca0000
  segment[1].buf   = 0x5555570940b0
  segment[1].bufsz = 0x200
  segment[1].mem   = 0x1ca0000
  segment[1].memsz = 0x4000

This patch constrains the range of the kernel segment by `hole_min`
and `hole_max` to place vmlinux.efi exactly at the link address.
