s390/kexec_file: fix error handling when applying relocations
[ Upstream commit 41967a37 ] arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add currently ignores all errors returned by arch_kexec_do_relocs. This means that every unknown relocation is silently skipped causing unpredictable behavior while the relocated code runs. Fix this by checking for errors and fail kexec_file_load if an unknown relocation type is encountered. The problem was found after gcc changed its behavior and used R_390_PLT32DBL relocations for brasl instruction and relied on ld to resolve the relocations in the final link in case direct calls are possible. As the purgatory code is only linked partially (option -r) ld didn't resolve the relocations leaving them for arch_kexec_do_relocs. But arch_kexec_do_relocs doesn't know how to handle R_390_PLT32DBL relocations so they were silently skipped. This ultimately caused an endless loop in the purgatory as the brasl instructions kept branching to itself.
