When the image is a crash kernel,\nthis can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved\nregion and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.\nThe crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it\ntries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:\n\n  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx\n  ...\n    fdt_offset_ptr+...\n    fdt_check_node_offset_+...\n    fdt_first_property_offset+...\n    fdt_get_property_namelen_+...\n    fdt_getprop+...\n    kho_memory_init+...\n    mm_core_init+...\n    start_kernel+...\n\nkho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH\nimages, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As\nkho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt\nand image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64\nand x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these\nfields are unset."
