[PATCH v3] arm64: use generic free_initrd_mem()

From: Mike Rapoport
Date: Wed Sep 25 2019 - 01:09:49 EST


From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

arm64 calls memblock_free() for the initrd area in its implementation of
free_initrd_mem(), but this call has no actual effect that late in the boot
process. By the time initrd is freed, all the reserved memory is managed by
the page allocator and the memblock.reserved is unused, so the only purpose
of the memblock_free() call is to keep track of initrd memory for debugging
and accounting.

Without the memblock_free() call the only difference between arm64 and the
generic versions of free_initrd_mem() is the memory poisoning.

Move memblock_free() call to the generic code, enable it there
for the architectures that define ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and use the generic
implementaion of free_initrd_mem() on arm64.

v3:
* fix powerpc build

v2:
* add memblock_free() to the generic free_initrd_mem()
* rebase on the current upstream
