When the kernel is relocated during early boot (efistub or kexec_file), a randomized load address may has already been selected and applied. In this case, performing KASLR again in relocate.c is unnecessary. Note: strictly-defined KASLR means the kernel's final runtime address has a random offset from the kernel's load address, which is implemented in relocate.c; broadly-defined KALSR means the kernel's final runtime address has a random offset from the kernel's link address (a.k.a. VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS), which also include the efistlub implementation, kexec_file implementation and QEMU direct kernel boot. kaslr_disabled() return true only means strictly-defined KASLR is disabled.
