Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm: Make generic arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() do what it says

Commit 7a5da02de8d6 ("locking/lockdep: check for freed initmem in
static_obj()") added arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() which is supposed
to report whether an object is part of already freed init memory.

For the time being, the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed()
always reports 'false', allthough free_initmem() is generically called
on all architectures.

Therefore, change the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed()
to check whether free_initmem() has been called. If so, then check
if a given address falls into init memory.

In order to use function init_section_contains(), the fonction is
moved at the end of asm-generic/section.h
