kexec_file: Correctly output debugging information for the PT_LOAD EL…

…F header

Currently, when we enable the debugging switch to debug kexec_file,
we always get the following incorrect results:

  kexec_file: Crash PT_LOAD elf header. phdr=00000000c988639b vaddr=0x0, paddr=0x0, sz=0x0 e_phnum=51 p_offset=0x0

The reason is that kernel always prints the values of the next PT_LOAD
instead of the current PT_LOAD. Change it to ensure that we can get the
correct debugging information.
