When linux_exec() fails, the initrd pages cleanup attempts to run,
and an assertion is triggered:
../src/boot/linux.c:125@linux_exec: Error loading kernel image: Security violation
../src/boot/util.h:81@cleanup_pages: Error freeing pages: Not found
../src/boot/log.c:30@efi_assert: systemd-boot: Assertion 'r == EFI_SUCCESS' failed at ../src/boot/util.h:82@cleanup_pages, halting.
(log message is new)
This was introduced by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/36715
Before that change, given the argument to xmalloc_pages() was passed as EFI_SIZE_TO_PAGES(n_pages), that's
what ended up in Pages.n_pages. After this change, n_pages gets assigned without being transformed by
EFI_SIZE_TO_PAGES, so the cleanup can find them again. That change causes the assertion failure to trigger.
Changing this to .n_pages = EFI_SIZE_TO_PAGES(n_pages) fixes the assertion.
