[PATCH v4 06/12] LoongArch: kexec_file: Fix elf_headers memory leak in retry loop

If load_other_segments() fails after image->elf_headers is assigned,
the memory lifecycle is safely managed by the global kimage object
and will be freed in arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().

However, during a retry loop in efi_kexec_load(), a subsequent iteration
will allocate a new buffer and overwrite image->elf_headers. This
permanently leaks the stale memory from the previous iteration before
the global cleanup can track it.

Fix this by explicitly freeing the stale `image->elf_headers` buffer
before assigning the newly allocated headers.
