Philipp Rudo f1b1cca396 kernel/kexec_file.c: remove unneeded for-loop in kexec_purgatory_setup_sechdrs
To update the entry point there is an extra loop over all section
headers although this can be done in the main loop.  So move it there
and eliminate the extra loop and variable to store the 'entry section
index'.

Also, in the main loop, move the usual case, i.e.  non-bss section, out
of the extra if-block.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
