riscv: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in machine_kexec_prepare()
A NULL pointer dereference issue is noticed in riscv's
machine_kexec_prepare(), where image->segment[i].buf might be NULL and
copied unchecked.
The NULL buf comes from ima_add_kexec_buffer(), where kbuf is added by
kexec_add_buffer(), but kbuf.buffer is NULL, then it is copied without
a check in machine_kexec_prepare():
kexec_file_load
-> kimage_file_alloc_init()
-> kimage_file_prepare_segments()
-> ima_add_kexec_buffer()
-> kexec_add_buffer()
-> machine_kexec_prepare()
-> memcpy()
Address this by adding a check before the data copy attempt.
Fixes: b7fb4d7 ("RISC-V: use memcpy for kexec_file mode")
