If you return -EINVAL then the caller should not look at the buffer but 
at 'ret' (5/8). So I don't think it's necessary to initialize these 
variables since the caller shouldn't look at them.

Actually, that's not quite right what I told you.   "kexec owns 
kexec_buffer due to ima->ima_buffer and it will vfree() this buffer."
