mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early
Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.
However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.
To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.
