Subject: [PATCH 4.14 214/242] powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Dont leak kernel memory to user space

From: David Hildenbrand <david@...hat.com>

commit c74cf7a3d59a21b290fe0468f5b470d0b8ee37df upstream.

We currently leak kernel memory to user space, because memory
offlining doesn't do any implicit clearing of memory and we are
missing explicit clearing of memory.

Let's keep it simple and clear pages before removing the linear
mapping.

Reproduced in QEMU/TCG with 10 GiB of main memory:
  [root@...alhost ~]# dd obs=9G if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null
  [... wait until "free -m" used counter no longer changes and cancel]
  19665802+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  9663676416 bytes (9.7 GB, 9.0 GiB) copied, 135.548 s, 71.3 MB/s
