    kexec: fix double-free when failing to relocate the purgatory · 070c43ee
    Thiago Jung Bauermann authored
    If kexec_apply_relocations fails, kexec_load_purgatory frees pi->sechdrs
    and pi->purgatory_buf.  This is redundant, because in case of error
    kimage_file_prepare_segments calls kimage_file_post_load_cleanup, which
    will also free those buffers.
    
    This causes two warnings like the following, one for pi->sechdrs and the
    other for pi->purgatory_buf:

    Fix by setting pi->sechdrs an pi->purgatory_buf to NULL, since vfree
    won't try to free a NULL pointer.
