[PATCH v6 14/14] arm64: hibernate: Prevent resume from a different kernel version

Resuming using a different kernel version is fragile, while there are
sufficient details in the hibernate arch-header to perform the restore,
changes in the boot process can have a long-lasting impact on the system.
In particular, if the EFI stub causes more runtime services memory to be
allocated, the amount of memory left for linux is reduced. If we are
lucky, this will cause restore to fail with the message:
> PM: Image mismatch: memory size
If we are unlucky, the system will explode sometime later when an EFI
runtime services call is made.

Prevent resuming with a different kernel build, by storing UTS_VERSION
in the hibernate header. This also ensures the page size and va bits
configuration remain the same.
