[PATCH v8 09/11] kexec: Add kexec_rollback_segments() helper

[Jinjie Ruan]

A load attempt that cannot place all of its segments drops the segments
it added, but the CMA pages backing them become unreachable.

Add a helper that releases those pages and truncates nr_segments,
so the loaders do not have to open code it.

The helper also invalidates the recorded elfcorehdr segment index when
the header is among the dropped segments, so that a retry does not leave
a stale index behind for crash hotplug.
