Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] x86, kexec_file_load: make it work with efi=noruntime or efi=old_map

When efi=noruntime or efi=oldmap is used, EFI services won't be available
in the second kernel, therefore the second kernel will not be able to get
the ACPI RSDP address from firmware by calling EFI services and won't
boot. Previously we are expecting the user to set the acpi_rsdp=<addr>
on kernel command line for second kernel as there was no way to pass RSDP
address to second kernel.

After commit e6e094e053af ('x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from
boot params if available'), now it's possible to set an acpi_rsdp_addr
parameter in the boot_params passed to second kernel, this commit makes
use of it, detect and set the RSDP address when it's required for second
kernel to boot.

Tested with an EFI enabled KVM VM with efi=noruntime.
