kexec/uImage: probe to identify a corrupted image
Teach uImage_probe_xxx() to return the information about
a corrupted image. This is required to prevent the loading
of a corrupted ramdisk, where we don't have strict checking
for the other formats, unlike the kernel. So, we should abort
the operation than causing a problem with the new kernel.
Without this patch, a corrupted uImage ramdisk is treated as
a plain ramdisk where there is no format check involved.
# kexec -l uImage --initrd romfs-initrd.corrupt
The data CRC does not match. Computed: 867e73f7 expected 8f097cc0
# echo $?
0
# kexec -e
Starting new kernel
Bye!
