[PATCH 6/8] arm64: kexec_file: Fix image->elf_headers memory leak during retry loop

Sashiko AI code review pointed out a potential memory leak of
image->elf_headers when load_other_segments() fails on error paths.

When load_other_segments() fails during the arm64 kexec_file file-load
path, execution jumps to the out_err label. While this path restores
`image->nr_segments`, it returns an error back to the caller without
freeing the allocated `image->elf_headers` vmalloc buffer.

Consequently, the retry loop in image_load() will allocate new ELF
headers on the next iteration and overwrite `image->elf_headers`,
permanently leaking the memory blocks allocated in previous iterations.

Fix this by explicitly freeing the stale `image->elf_headers` buffer
once the new headers buffer is allocated.
