[patch 174/200] mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters

Subject: mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters

Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3.

I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:
- interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
  the order of parameters (Patch 1)
- the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)
- sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free
  (Patch 4)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have
  init_on_free (Patch 5)


This patch (of 5):

Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1
produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence.  However,
as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for
init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later
on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their
parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the
respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is
called, it is not considered to be enabled.  This is inconsistent.

We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters
only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early
params have been processed.  Introduce a new
init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related
debug_pagealloc processing there as well.

As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if
init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled.  Thus we can also
optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free().  We don't need to
check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the
init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled.  This results
in a simpler and more effective code.
