[ Upstream commit efdde3d73ab25cef4ff2d06783b0aad8b093c0e4 ]
There is case as below could trigger kernel dump: Use U-Boot to start remote processor(rproc) with resource table published to a fixed address by rproc. After Kernel boots up, stop the rproc, load a new firmware which doesn't have resource table ,and start rproc.
When starting rproc with a firmware not have resource table, `memcpy(loaded_table, rproc->cached_table, rproc->table_sz)` will trigger dump, because rproc->cache_table is set to NULL during the last stop operation, but rproc->table_sz is still valid.
This issue is found on i.MX8MP and i.MX9.

Clear rproc->table_sz to address the issue.
