Subject: [PATCH V3] purgatory: fix up declarations

Add the missing declarations of basic purgatory functions and variables
to allow a clean build.

Fixes: commit 8fc5b4d4121c ("purgatory: core purgatory functionality")
Link: http://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/4/25
Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

V2: after kbuild test robot <lkp@...el.com> reported a build failure
    removed incorrect declaration of copy_backup_region which is static
    anyway.

V3: move it all into purgatory.h as fixing up the declarations in the .c
    file as suggested by Dave Young <dyoung@...hat.com>, fixes the sparse
    warnings but then triggers a batch of checkpatch warnings. So the only
    clear solution it seems is to move it to a dedicated .h file.

sparse complained about:
  CHECK   arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:21:15: warning: symbol 'backup_dest' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:22:15: warning: symbol 'backup_src' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:23:15: warning: symbol 'backup_sz' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:25:4: warning: symbol 'sha256_digest' was not declared. Should it be static?

arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:42:5: warning: symbol 'verify_sha256_digest' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c:61:6: warning: symbol 'purgatory' was not declared. Should it be static?
  CC      arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.o

Numerous sparse messages regarding functions not being declared, these
functions are resolved via kexec_purgatory_get_set_symbol() and not
directly called anywhere. To resolve the sparse issues appropriate
declarations were added in a dedicated purgatory.h file.

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig (implies CONFIG_KEXEC=y)

Patch is against 4.10-rc2 (localversion-next is next-20170106)
