[PATCH v6 2/7] kexec: define functions to map and unmap segments

Currently, the mechanism to map and unmap segments to the kimage
structure is not available to the subsystems outside of kexec.  This
functionality is needed when IMA is allocating the memory segments
during kexec 'load' operation.  Implement functions to map and unmap
segments to kimage.

Implement kimage_map_segment() to enable mapping of IMA buffer source
pages to the kimage structure post kexec 'load'.  This function,
accepting a kimage pointer, an address, and a size, will gather the
source pages within the specified address range, create an array of page
pointers, and map these to a contiguous virtual address range.  The
function returns the start of this range if successful, or NULL if
unsuccessful.

Implement kimage_unmap_segment() for unmapping segments
using vunmap().
