I vaguely remember previously I suggest split the _kexec_kernel_image_probe
because arch code can call them, and common code also use it like above.
But in your new series I do not find where else calls this function
except the common code arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe.  If nobody use
them then it is not worth to split them out, it is better to just embed
them in the __weak functions.

Ditto for other similar functions.
