 v8:
  - addressed comments by Michal Hocko: revert kernel/kexec_core.c and
    apply initialization in dma_pool_free()
  - disable init_on_alloc/init_on_free if slab poisoning or page
    poisoning are enabled, as requested by Qian Cai
  - skip the redzone when initializing a freed heap object, as requested
    by Qian Cai and Kees Cook
  - use s->offset to address the freeptr (suggested by Kees Cook)
  - updated the patch description, added Signed-off-by: tag

v8 failed to incorporate

https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-security-introduce-init_on_alloc=1-and-init_on_free=1-boot-options-fix.patch
and
https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-security-introduce-init_on_alloc=1-and-init_on_free=1-boot-options-fix-2.patch

it's conventional to incorporate such fixes when preparing a new
version of a patch.

v9 contains these patches (I've also exported init_on_free), so should
now be fine to drop them.
