Subject: [PATCH 5.3 077/112] mm/page_alloc.c: fix a crash in free_pages_prepare()

From: Qian Cai <cai@....pw>

commit 234fdce892f905cbc2674349a9eb4873e288e5b3 upstream.

On architectures like s390, arch_free_page() could mark the page unused
(set_page_unused()) and any access later would trigger a kernel panic.
Fix it by moving arch_free_page() after all possible accessing calls.

In the past, only kernel_poison_pages() would trigger this but it needs
"page_poison=on" kernel cmdline, and I suspect nobody tested that on
s390.  Recently, kernel_init_free_pages() (commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm:
security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"))
was added and could trigger this as well.
