[PATCH] mm: page_alloc: fix page_poison=1 / INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON interaction

From: Sergei Trofimovich
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 17:58:29 EST


To reproduce the failure we need the following system:
- kernel command: page_poison=1 init_on_free=0 init_on_alloc=0
- kernel config:
* CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON=y
* CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y
* CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING=y

Before the 51cba1eb ("init_on_alloc: Optimize static branches")
init_on_alloc never enabled static branch by default. It could
only be enabed explicitly by init_mem_debugging_and_hardening().

But after the 51cba1eb static branch could already be enabled
by default. There was no code to ever disable it. That caused
page_poison=1 / init_on_free=1 conflict.

This change extends init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to also
disable static branch disabling.
