[PATCH v2 1/4] kexec: Replace the goto out_unlock with out

The image is initialized to NULL. Then, after calling kimage_alloc_init,
we can directly goto 'out' because at this time, the kimage_free will
determine whether image is a NULL pointer.

This will prepare for the subsequent patch to reset the variable in
kimage_free.
