[OE-core] [PATCH] kexec: ARM: fix align issue of add_buffer_phys_virt() for LPAE kernel

If LPAE is enabled, 3 level page table is used and the 'SECTION_SIZE'
is (1<<21), so add_buffer_phys_virt() should align to (1 << 21).

+Subject: [PATCH] kexec: ARM: Fix add_buffer_phys_virt() align issue
+
+When "CONFIG_ARM_LPAE" is enabled,3 level page table
+is used by MMU, the "SECTION_SIZE" is defined with
+(1 << 21), but 'add_buffer_phys_virt()' hardcode this
+to (1 << 20).
