arm64: kernel: initialize missing kexec_buf->random field
Commit bf454ec31add ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly")
introduced the kexec_buf->random field to enable random placement of
kexec_buf.
However, this field was never properly initialized for kexec images
that do not need to be placed randomly, leading to the following UBSAN
warning:

To address this, initialise kexec_buf->random field properly.
