Michael Ellerman 6f07048c00 powerpc: Define arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() for lockdep
Under certain circumstances, we hit a warning in lockdep_register_key:

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(static_obj(key)))
                return;

This occurs when the key falls into initmem that has since been freed
and can now be reused. This has been observed on boot, and under
memory pressure.

Define arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(), which allows lockdep to
correctly identify this memory as dynamic.

This fixes a bug picked up by the powerpc64 syzkaller instance where
we hit the WARN via alloc_netdev_mqs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
