kexec: move segment verification code in a separate function
Previously do_kimage_alloc() will allocate a kimage structure, copy segment list from user space and then do the segment list sanity verification. Break down this function in 3 parts. do_kimage_alloc_init() to do actual allocation and basic initialization of kimage structure. copy_user_segment_list() to copy segment list from user space and sanity_check_segment_list() to verify the sanity of segment list as passed by user space. In later patches, I need to only allocate kimage and not copy segment list from user space. So breaking down in smaller functions enables re-use of code at other places.
