mm: discard memblock data later

Browse Source 
There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:

The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed.  See comment in e820__memblock_setup():

  * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
  * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
  * than that - so allow memblock resizing.

This memblock memory is freed here:
        free_low_memory_core_early()

We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:

        deferred_init_memmap()
                for_each_mem_pfn_range()
                  __next_mem_pfn_range()
                    type = &memblock.memory;

One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.

Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.
