[PATCH] kexec: Fix description of --status exit code

[Raphael Ning <raphning@gmail.com>]

From: Raphael Ning <raphning@amazon.com>

On both Linux and Xen, an exit code of 0 from `kexec --status`
indicates that the kexec image being queried is NOT loaded, which
is contrary to what the man page and usage() say.
