[IA64] Fix NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec()

Browse Source 
This patch fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec().

The variable ia64_kimage is set in machine_kexec_prepare() which is
called from sys_kexec_load(). If kdump wasn't configured before,
ia64_kimage is NULL.  machine_kdump_on_init() passes ia64_kimage() to
machine_kexec() which assumes a valid value.

The patch also adds a few sanity checks for the image to simplify
debugging of similar problems in future.
