PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO
PAGE_POISONING_ZERO disables zeroing new pages on alloc, they are poisoned (zeroed) as they become available. In the hibernate use case, free pages will appear in the system without being cleared, left there by the loading kernel. This patch will make sure free pages are cleared on resume when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled. We free the pages just after resume because we can't do it later: going through any device resume code might allocate some memory and invalidate the free pages bitmap. Thus we don't need to disable hibernation when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled.
