[PATCH mm v2] mm, kasan: fix for "integrate page_alloc init with HW_TAGS"

From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Tue Mar 30 2021 - 12:39:04 EST


My commit "integrate page_alloc init with HW_TAGS" changed the order of
kernel_unpoison_pages() and kernel_init_free_pages() calls. This leads
to complaints from the page unpoisoning code, as the poison pattern gets
overwritten for __GFP_ZERO allocations.

Fix by restoring the initial order. Also add a warning comment.
