kexec: add call to LSM hook in original kexec_load syscall
In order for LSMs and IMA-appraisal to differentiate between kexec_load and kexec_file_load syscalls, both the original and new syscalls must call an LSM hook. This patch adds a call to security_kernel_load_data() in the original kexec_load syscall.
