[PATCH v10 2/2] mm: init: report memory auto-initialization features at boot time

[Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com>]

Print the currently enabled stack and heap initialization modes.

Stack initialization is enabled by a config flag, while heap
initialization is configured at boot time with defaults being set
in the config. It's more convenient for the user to have all information
about these hardening measures in one place at boot, so the user can
reason about the expected behavior of the running system.

The possible options for stack are:
 - "all" for CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL;
 - "byref_all" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL;
 - "byref" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF;
 - "__user" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_USER;
 - "off" otherwise.

Depending on the values of init_on_alloc and init_on_free boottime
options we also report "heap alloc" and "heap free" as "on"/"off".

In the init_on_free mode initializing pages at boot time may take a
while, so print a notice about that as well. This depends on how much
memory is installed, the memory bandwidth, etc.
On a relatively modern x86 system, it takes about 0.75s/GB to wipe all
memory:

  [    0.418722] mem auto-init: stack:byref_all, heap alloc:off, heap free:on
  [    0.419765] mem auto-init: clearing system memory may take some time...
  [   12.376605] Memory: 16408564K/16776672K available (14339K kernel code, 1397K rwdata, 3756K rodata, 1636K init, 11460K bss, 368108K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)

 v6:
 - update patch description, fixed message about clearing memory
 v7:
 - rebase the patch, add the Acked-by: tag;
 - more description updates as suggested by Kees;
 - make report_meminit() static.
 v8:
 - added the Signed-off-by: tag
