This reverts commit 487a32ec24be819e747af8c2ab0d5c515508086a.
The should_skip_kasan_poison() function reads the PG_skip_kasan_poison
flag from page->flags. However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare():
page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;
clears most of page->flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling
should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true
as a result of the page flag being set. Therefore, fix the code to call
should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing
before the reverted patch.
