Booting kexec kernel with "efi=old_map" in kernel command line hits
kernel panic as shown below.

[0.001000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
[0.001000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

[efi=old_map was never intended to work with kexec. The problem with
using efi=old_map is that the virtual addresses are assigned from the
memory region used by other kernel mappings; vmalloc() space.
Potentially there could be collisions when booting kexec if something
else is mapped at the virtual address we allocated for runtime service
regions in the initial boot] - Matt Fleming

Since kexec was never intended to work with efi=old_map, disable
runtime services in kexec if booted with efi=old_map, so that we don't
panic.

Changes since v1:
Don't fix the panic, because this was never intended to work.
