kexec: move segment verification code in a separate function

Browse source

Previously do_kimage_alloc() will allocate a kimage structure, copy
segment list from user space and then do the segment list sanity
verification.

Break down this function in 3 parts.  do_kimage_alloc_init() to do actual
allocation and basic initialization of kimage structure.
copy_user_segment_list() to copy segment list from user space and
sanity_check_segment_list() to verify the sanity of segment list as passed
by user space.

In later patches, I need to only allocate kimage and not copy segment list
from user space.  So breaking down in smaller functions enables re-use of
code at other places.
