[PATCH v3 1/3] kexec: Fix uninitialized struct kimage *image pointer
Posted by Qiang Ma 5 days, 14 hours ago
The image is initialized to NULL. Then, after calling kimage_alloc_init,
we can directly goto 'out' because at this time, the kimage_free will
determine whether image is a NULL pointer.

This can also prepare for the subsequent patch's kexec_core_dbg_print
to be reset to zero in kimage_free.
