Page poisoning used to be incompatible with hibernation, as the state of
poisoned pages was lost after resume, thus enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION forces
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY. For the same reason, the poisoning with zeroes
variant CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO used to disable hibernation. The latter
restriction was removed by commit 1ad1410f632d ("PM / Hibernate: allow
hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO") and similarly for init_on_free by commit
18451f9f9e58 ("PM: hibernate: fix crashes with init_on_free=1") by making sure
free pages are cleared after resume.

We can use the same mechanism to instead poison free pages with PAGE_POISON
after resume. This covers both zero and 0xAA patterns. Thus we can remove the
Kconfig restriction that disables page poison sanity checking when hibernation
is enabled.

Any reason why not to use the static version here?
