powerpc: Define arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() for lockdep



Under certain circumstances, we hit a warning in lockdep_register_key:

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(static_obj(key)))
                return;

This occurs when the key falls into initmem that has since been freed
and can now be reused. This has been observed on boot, and under
memory pressure.

Define arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(), which allows lockdep to
correctly identify this memory as dynamic.

This fixes a bug picked up by the powerpc64 syzkaller instance where
we hit the WARN via alloc_netdev_mqs.
