[PATCH] kexec: Make a pair of map/unmap reserved pages in error path

From: Minfei Huang <mnfhuang at gmail.com>

For some arch, kexec shall map the reserved pages, then use them, when
we try to start the kdump service.

kexec may return directly, without unmaping the reserved pages, if it
fails during starting service. To fix it, we make a pair of map/unmap
reserved pages both in generic path and error path.
