[PATCH -fixes] riscv: kexec: Align the kexeced kernel entry

The current riscv boot protocol requires 2MB alignment for RV64
and 4MB alignment for RV32.
In KEXEC_FILE path, the elf_find_pbase() function should align
the kexeced kernel entry according to the requirement, otherwise
the kexeced kernel would silently BUG at the setup_vm().
Fixes: 8acea455fafa ("RISC-V: Support for kexec_file on panic")

You can use my kexec-tools[1] to test the kexec-file-syscall and this patch.
