Good catch.
The log can be improved to make the issue more obvious. How about this:
======
With commit b3e34a47f989 ("x86/kexec: fix memory leak of elf header
buffer"), freeing up image->elf_headers in error path of
crash_load_segments() is not needed, because later
kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() will cover it. And not clearing it could
result in a double-free.
Drop the superfluous vfree() call at the error path of
crash_load_segments().
========
Other than the log part, LGTM. Thanks.
