locking/lockdep: check for freed initmem in static_obj()
The following warning occurred on s390: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 804 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1025 lockdep_register_key+0x30/0x150 This is because the check in static_obj() assumes that all memory within [_stext, _end] belongs to static objects, which at least for s390 isn't true. The init section is also part of this range, and freeing it allows the buddy allocator to allocate memory from it. We have virt == phys for the kernel on s390, so that such allocations would then have addresses within the range [_stext, _end]. To fix this, introduce arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(), similar to arch_is_kernel_text/data(), and add it to the checks in static_obj(). This will always return 0 on architectures that do not define arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed. On s390, it will return 1 if initmem has been freed and the address is in the range [__init_begin, __init_end].
