Subject: [PATCH v14 5/6] virtio-balloon: Pull page poisoning config out of
 free page hinting

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...ux.intel.com>

Currently the page poisoning setting wasn't being enabled unless free page
hinting was enabled. However we will need the page poisoning tracking logic
as well for unused page reporting. As such pull it out and make it a
separate bit of config in the probe function.

In addition we need to add support for the more recent init_on_free feature
which expects a behavior similar to page poisoning in that we expect the
page to be pre-zeroed.
