Kernel will copy all the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE len buffer pointer by 
cmd_line_ptr, but kexec-bzImage just prepare a very shorter buffer
in the below line check failed code path:

if (info->kexec_flags & (KEXEC_ON_CRASH | KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT))

in the check sucess code path, it seems good by below line:
modified_cmdline = xmalloc(COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
