[PATCH] arm64: kexec: Initialize kexec_buf struct in image_load()

[Breno Leitao]

The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization
in image_load(). This led to a UBSAN warning when the structure was
expanded and uninitialized fields were accessed [1].

Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are
cleanly set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being
used.

Andrew Morton suggested that this function is only called 3x a week[2],
thus, the memset() cost is inexpressive.
