LoongArch: Add ELF binary support for kexec_file
This patch creates kexec_elf_ops to load ELF binary file for
kexec_file_load() syscall.
However, for `kbuf->memsz` and `kbuf->buf_min`, special handling is
required, and the generic `kexec_elf_load()` cannot be used directly.

phdr->p_paddr should have been a physical address, but it is a virtual
address on the current LoongArch. This will cause kexec_file to fail
when loading the kernel and need to be converted to a physical address.
From the above MemSiz, it can be seen that 0x287a0d8 isn't page aligned.
Although kexec_add_buffer() will perform PAGE_SIZE alignment on kbuf->
memsz, there is still a stampeding in the loaded kernel space and initrd
space. The initrd resolution failed when starting the second kernel.
It can be known from the link script vmlinux.lds.S that,
BSS_SECTION(0, SZ_64K, 8)
. = ALIGN(PECOFF_SEGMENT_ALIGN);
It needs to be aligned according to SZ_64K, so that after alignment, its
size is consistent with _kernel_asize.
The basic usage (vmlinux):
1) Load second kernel image:
# kexec -s -l vmlinux --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline
2) Startup second kernel:
# kexec -e
