+Subject: kexec-tools: print error if kexec_file_load fails
+References: bsc#1197176
+Git-commit: 1d7a308bf7349fcf1627e950159029dfccf85891
+Upstream: merged
+
+Commit 4f77da634035 ("kexec-tools: Fix kexec_file_load(2) error
+handling") introduced EFALLBACK for scenarios where fallbacking back
+to kexec_load syscall is likely to work and dropped printing error
+message for these scenarios. But printing error message for other
+failure scenarios was inadvertently dropped. Restore printing error
+message for such cases.
+
+Fixes: 4f77da634035 ("kexec-tools: Fix kexec_file_load(2) error handling")
