mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option
Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.
