kexec: make kexec_segment user buffer pointer a union
So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space
passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it.
But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by
kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory.
So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing
to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning.
Make ->buf a union. And where a user space pointer is expected, access it
using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using
->kbuf. That takes care of sparse warnings.
