kexec: make kexec_segment user buffer pointer a union So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it. But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory. So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning. Make ->buf a union. And where a user space pointer is expected, access it using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using ->kbuf. That takes care of sparse warnings.
