Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc: If kexec_build_elf_info() fails return immediately from elf64_load()

From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2021 12:03:55 -0700

Uninitialized local variable "elf_info" would be passed to
kexec_free_elf_info() if kexec_build_elf_info() returns an error
in elf64_load().

If kexec_build_elf_info() returns an error, return the error
immediately.
