I think it makes sense. If output from choose_kernel_location() doesn't
change (output == output_orig), we shouldn't call relocation code.
There are two situations that makes output == output_orig:
- "nokaslr" case
- "KASLR could not find suitable E820 region" case.

Thanks for the patch, it works for me :)
I also have a draft patch with the same idea as Yinghai. But I take a
slightly different approach:
