ARM: 6996/1: mm: Poison freed init memory

Poisoning __init marked memory can be useful when tracking down
obscure memory corruption bugs. Therefore, poison init memory
with 0xe7fddef0 to catch bugs earlier. The poison value is an
undefined instruction in ARM mode and branch to an undefined
instruction in Thumb mode.
