kexec: fix kexec_lock use in kexec_swap_images()

CID 1128573

If a bad image type is supplied in a KEXECOP_unload hypercall, the
kexec_lock in kexec_swap_images() was left locked, causing a deadlock
on a subsequent image load or unload.

The kexec_lock is only required to serialize the swap operation
itself.
