x86/kexec: Invoke copy of relocate_kernel() instead of the original
This currently calls set_memory_x() from machine_kexec_prepare() just
like the 32-bit version does. That's actually a bit earlier than I'd
like, as it leaves the page RWX all the time the image is even *loaded*.
Subsequent commits will eliminate all the writes to the page between the
point it's marked executable in machine_kexec_prepare() the time that
relocate_kernel() is running and has switched to the identmap %cr3, so
that it can be ROX. But that can't happen until it's moved to the .data
section of the kernel, and *that* can't happen until we start executing
the copy instead of executing it in place in the kernel .text. So break
the circular dependency in those commits by letting it be RWX for now.
