[PATCH] LoongArch: kexec: Fix address space mismatch in command line lookup

[George Guo <dongtai.guo@linux.dev>]

From: George Guo <guodongtai@kylinos.cn>

When searching the loaded segments for the "kexec" command line marker,
the kexec_load(2) path (file_mode == 0) passes the user-space segment
buffer straight to strncmp() through a bogus (char __user *) cast. This
dereferences a user pointer in kernel context, which is wrong and is
flagged by sparse:

  arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec.c:84:51: sparse: incorrect type in
  argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected char const * @@ got
  char [noderef] __user *

Copy the marker-sized prefix of each segment into a small on-stack
buffer with copy_from_user() before comparing, and skip segments that
fault. The subsequent copy_from_user() that stages the full command line
into the safe area is left unchanged.
