kexec: clear kexec_image slot when unloading kexec image

When kexec_do_unload calls kexec_swap_images to get the old kexec_image to
free, it passes NULL for the new kexec_image pointer. The new slot wasn't being
cleared in such a case, leading to a stale pointer being left behind in the
kexec_image array and Xen panics in subsequent load/unload operations.
