Subject: [PATCH] kexec_core: fix the assignment to kimage->control_page

image->control_page represents the starting address for allocating the next
control page, while hole_end represents the address of the last valid byte
of the currently allocated control page.

Therefore, after successfully allocating a control page, image->control_page
should be updated to `hole_end + 1`, rather than hole_end.
