[PATCH] arm64: kexec_file: return successfully even if kaslr-seed doesn't exist

[PATCH] arm64: kexec_file: return successfully even if kaslr-seed doesn't exist

[AKASHI Takahiro]

In kexec_file_load, kaslr-seed property of the current dtb will be deleted
any way before setting a new value if possible. It doesn't matter whether
it exists in the current dtb.

So "ret" should be reset to 0 here.

Could you describe what goes wrong without this patch?

If the rng isn't ready yet, this stale error causes us to return an error,
causing kexec_file_load() to fail unnecessarily.
