[PATCH 2/2] kexec: add a pmd huge entry condition during the page table

From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang at huawei.com>

when image is loaded into kernel, we need set up page table for it. and 
all valid pfn also set up new mapping. it will tend to establish a pmd 
page table in the form of a large page if pud_present is true. relocate_kernel 
points to code segment can locate in the pmd huge entry in init_transtion_pgtable. 
therefore, we need to take the situation into account.
