slab: fix generic PAGE_POISONING conflict with SLAB_RED_ZONE
A generic page poisoning mechanism was added with commit:
6a11f75b6a17b5d9ac5025f8d048382fd1f47377
which destructively poisons full pages with a bitpattern.
On arches where PAGE_POISONING is used, this conflicts with the slab
redzone checking enabled by DEBUG_SLAB, scribbling bits all over its
magic words and making it complain about that quite emphatically.
On x86 (and I presume at present all the other arches which set
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC too), the kernel_map_pages() operation
is non destructive so it can coexist with the other DEBUG_SLAB
mechanisms just fine.
This patch favours the expensive full page destruction test for
cases where there is a collision and it is explicitly selected.
