Subject: bootconfig: use memblock_free_late to free xbc memory to buddy
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 10:41:04 +0800

At the time to free xbc memory, memblock has handed over memory to buddy
allocator.  So it doesn't make sense to free memory back to memblock. 
memblock_free() called by xbc_exit() even causes UAF bugs on architectures
with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK disabled like x86.  Following KASAN logs
shows this case.
