kexec_file: Factor out kexec_locate_mem_hole from kexec_add_buffer.
kexec_locate_mem_hole will be used by the PowerPC kexec_file_load implementation to find free memory for the purgatory stack. Signed-off-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
