Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] 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.

To ease the use of system_state, move it out of line into its only
caller which is lockdep.c

v3: Move it out of sections.h into lockdep.c and fix the comment.

v2: Change to using the new SYSTEM_FREEING_INITMEM state
