kexec: avoid compat_alloc_user_space
kimage_alloc_init() expects a __user pointer, so compat_sys_kexec_load()
uses compat_alloc_user_space() to convert the layout and put it back onto
the user space caller stack.
Moving the user space access into the syscall handler directly actually
makes the code simpler, as the conversion for compat mode can now be done
on kernel memory.
