mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero
Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().
