RISC-V: kexec: Fix memory leak of elf header buffer

commit cbc32023ddbdf4baa3d9dc513a2184a84080a5a2 upstream.

In elf_kexec_load(), a buffer is allocated via vzalloc() to store elf
headers.  While it's not freed back to system when kdump kernel is
reloaded or unloaded, or when image->elf_header is successfully set and
then fails to load kdump kernel for some reason. Fix it by freeing the
buffer in arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().
