[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] riscv-kexec-initialize-kexec_buf-struct.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: riscv: kexec: initialize kexec_buf struct
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     riscv-kexec-initialize-kexec_buf-struct.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: riscv: kexec: initialize kexec_buf struct
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 03:42:22 -0700

The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization.
commit bf454ec31add ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly")
added a field that is always read but not consistently populated by all
architectures. This un-initialized field will contain garbage.

This is also triggering a UBSAN warning when the uninitialized data was
accessed:

	------------[ cut here ]------------
	UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10
	load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are
cleanly set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being
used.
