[PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc: Free fdt on error in elf64_load()

There are a few "goto out;" statements before the local variable "fdt"
is initialized through the call to of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() in
elf64_load(). This will result in an uninitialized "fdt" being passed
to kvfree() in this function if there is an error before the call to
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt().
If there is any error after fdt is allocated, but before it is
saved in the arch specific kimage struct, free the fdt.
