[0/7] kexec_file: print out debugging message if required

Message

Currently, specifying '-d' will print a lot of debugging information
about kexec/kdump loading with kexec_load interface.

However, kexec_file_load prints nothing even though '-d' is specified.
It's very inconvenient to debug or analyze the kexec/kdump loading when
something wrong happened with kexec/kdump itself or develper want to
check the kexec/kdump loading.

In this patchset, a kexec_file flag is KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG added and checked
in code. If it's passed in, debugging message of kexec_file code will be
printed out and can be seen from console and dmesg. Otherwise, the
debugging message is printed via pr_debug().

Note:
=====
1) The code in kexec-tools utility also need be changed to support
passing KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kernel when 'kexec -s -d' is specified.
The patch link is here:
=========
[PATCH] kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to support debug printing
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-November/028505.html

2) s390 also has kexec_file code, while I am not sure what debugging
information is necessary. So leave it to s390 dev to add if they think
it's needed.

Test:
======
I did testing on x86_64 and arm64. On x86_64, the printed messages look
like below:
--------------------------------------------------------------
