Well, I think it's because the patch is wrong. Shouldn't it be:

diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.c b/arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.c
index e29c333..a80192e 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.c
@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ int machine_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image)
 
 		err = memblock_is_region_memory(current_segment->mem,
 						current_segment->memsz);
-		if (err)
+		if (!err)
 			return - EINVAL;
 
 		err = get_user(header, (__be32*)current_segment->buf);
