David Rientjes 19da3dd157 flex_array: poison free elements
Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned
with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE.  It's value is similar to
POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.

This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API).  This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.

If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been
initialized.
