mm: enable page poisoning early at boot
On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because
of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released
by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the
identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another
cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected.
Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be
verified before checking the poison during an alloc.
