Subject: virtio-balloon: pull page poisoning config out of free page hinting
Currently the page poisoning setting wasn't being enabled unless free page
hinting was enabled. However we will need the page poisoning tracking
logic as well for unused page reporting. As such pull it out and make it
a separate bit of config in the probe function.
In addition we need to add support for the more recent init_on_free
feature which expects a behavior similar to page poisoning in that we
expect the page to be pre-zeroed.
