I am not sure if the logic is correct. In theory, kexec_file code
utilizes purgatory to verify the checksum digested during kernel loading
when try to jump to the kernel. That means kexec_file depends on
purgatory, but not contrary?

With these changes, we can achieve the goal to avoid building issue,
whereas the code logic becomes confusing. E.g people could disable
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, but still get purgatory code built in which is
totally useless.

Not sure if I think too much over this.
