The commit a85ee18c7900 ("kexec_file: print out debugging message
if required") has added general code printing in kexec_file_load(),
but not in kexec_load().
Especially in the RISC-V architecture, kexec_image_info() has been
removed(commit eb7622d908a0 ("kexec_file, riscv: print out debugging
message if required")). As a result, when using '-d' for the kexec_load
interface, print nothing in the kernel space. This might be helpful for
verifying the accuracy of the data passed to the kernel. Therefore, refer to
this commit a85ee18c7900 ("kexec_file: print out debugging message
if required"), debug print information has been added.
