Commit 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous allocation")
introduces logic to use CMA-based allocation in kexec by default. As
part of the changes, it introduces a kexec_file_load flag to disable the
use of CMA allocations from userspace. However, this flag is broken
since it is missing from the list of legal flags for kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load returns EINVAL when attempting to use the flag.
Fix this by adding the KEXEC_FILE_NO_CMA flag to the list of legal flags
for kexec_file_load.
Fixes: 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous allocation")
