[PATCH v2] riscv: Fix a NULL pointer reference in machine_kexec_prepare

A NULL pointer reference 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 security/integrity/ima/ima_kexec.c:
ima_add_kexec_buffer(), where kbuf is added by kexec_add_buffer(),
but kbuf.buffer is NULL.

Fix this by simply adding a check before copy.

v2 -> v1: add code comments as suggested by Baoquan.
