The original kernel still exists in the memory, clear it now.

What if you're here because kexec set __run_at_load (or
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_TEST is enabled), not because kaslr happened?


Nothing will happen because kaslr_late_init() only clears memory when
kernstart_virt_addr is not KERNELBASE. When __run_at_load is set then
KASLR will not take effect.
