I expect it's a Kconfig problem.  DEBUG_PAGEALLOC should be selecting
PAGE_POISONING.

config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
	bool "Debug page memory allocations"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on !HIBERNATION || ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && !PPC && !SPARC
	depends on !KMEMCHECK
	select PAGE_EXTENSION
	select PAGE_POISONING if !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
