Akinobu Mita ee3b4290ae generic debug pagealloc: build fix
This fixes a build failure with generic debug pagealloc:

  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'set_page_poison':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:8: error: 'struct page' has no member named 'debug_flags'
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'clear_page_poison':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:13: error: 'struct page' has no member named 'debug_flags'
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'page_poison':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:18: error: 'struct page' has no member named 'debug_flags'
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: At top level:
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:120: error: redefinition of 'kernel_map_pages'
  include/linux/mm.h:1278: error: previous definition of 'kernel_map_pages' was here
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'kernel_map_pages':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:122: error: 'debug_pagealloc_enabled' undeclared (first use in this function)

by fixing

 - debug_flags should be in struct page
 - define DEBUG_PAGEALLOC config option for all architectures

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
of memory corruptions.

help
Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
but helps to find certain types of memory corruptions.
This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get
wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not
saved to the suspend image.
