Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] mm: uninitialized struct page poisoning sanity checking

During boot we poison struct page memory in order to ensure that no one is
accessing this memory until the struct pages are initialized in
__init_single_page().

This patch adds more scrutiny to this checking, by making sure that flags
do not equal to poison pattern when the are accessed. The pattern is all
ones.

Since, node id is also stored in struct page, and may be accessed quiet
early we add the enforcement into page_to_nid() function as well.
