Functions memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() and memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw()
are intended for early memory allocation without overhead of zeroing the
allocated memory. Since these functions were used to allocate the memory
map, they have ended up with addition of a call to page_init_poison() that
poisoned the allocated memory when CONFIG_PAGE_POISON was set.

Since the memory map is allocated using a dedicated memmep_alloc() function
that takes care of the poisoning, remove page poisoning from the
memblock_alloc_*_raw() functions.

unassociated trivia:

casting _RET_IP_ back to void * seems odd as the define is
include/linux/kernel.h:#define _RET_IP_         (unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0)

It's probably easier to understand as just __builtin_return_address(0)
