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 will prepare for the subsequent patch to reset the variable in
kimage_free.
There doesn't seem to be a benefit to applying this patch unless the
"subsequent patch" is also applied. So wouldn't a two-patch series be
more appropriate?
Yes.
This patch is a preparation for the patch series "kexec: add kexec flag
to control debug printing".
I plan to post it together with the v2 of this patch series.
