x86/kexec: Fix a kexec_file_load() failure
Commit b6664ba42f14 ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()") changed the behavior of kexec_locate_mem_hole(): it will try to allocate free memory only when kbuf.mem is initialized to zero. However, x86's kexec_file_load() implementation reuses a struct kexec_buf allocated on the stack and its kbuf.mem member gets set by each kexec_add_buffer() invocation. The second kexec_add_buffer() will reuse the same kbuf but not reinitialize kbuf.mem. Therefore, explictily reset kbuf.mem each time in order for kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a free memory region each time.
