Subject: [PATCH v28 3/4] mm/page_poison: add a function to expose page poison val to kernel modules

Move the PAGE_POISON value to page_poison.c and add a function to enable
callers from a kernel module to get the poison value if the page poisoning
feature is in use. This also avoids callers directly checking PAGE_POISON
regardless of whether the feature is enabled.
