mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently

Browse source

Commit 11c9c7edae ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static
key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check.  However,
the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call
with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled.

Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts
page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces
page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths.  Both functions are
inlined.

The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does
the static key check inside.  Remove it from there and put it to callers.
Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and
kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter.

Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of
debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support.
Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single
static key instead of having two static branches in
page_poisoning_enabled_static().
