This is the preparative patch for kexec_file_load Image support.
It separates the elf_kexec_load() as two parts:
- the first part loads the vmlinux (or Image)
- the second part loads other segments (e.g. initrd,fdt,purgatory)
And the second part is exported as the load_extra_segments() function
which would be used in both kexec-elf.c and kexec-image.c.
No functional change intended.

This patch adds support for kexec_file on RISC-V. I tested it on riscv64
QEMU with busybear-linux and single core along with the OpenSBI firmware
fw_jump.bin for generic platform.
On SMP system, it depends on CONFIG_{HOTPLUG_CPU, RISCV_SBI} to
resume/stop hart through OpenSBI firmware, it also needs a OpenSBI that
support the HSM extension.
