Yeoreum Yun 58bd8c5f67 arm64: kernel: initialize missing kexec_buf->random field
[ Upstream commit 15dd20dda9 ]

Commit bf454ec31a ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly")
introduced the kexec_buf->random field to enable random placement of
kexec_buf.

However, this field was never properly initialized for kexec images
that do not need to be placed randomly, leading to the following UBSAN
warning:

To address this, initialise kexec_buf->random field properly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
