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.

ARM: 7010/1: mm: fix invalid loop for poison_init_mem
poison_init_mem() used a loop of:
while ((count = count - 4))
which has 2 problems - an off by one error so that we do one less word
than we should, and the other is that if count == 0 then we loop forever
and poison too much. On a platform with HAVE_TCM=y but nothing in the
TCM's, this caused corruption and the platform failed to boot.
