x86/alternative: delay freeing of smp_locks section

On SMP systems alternative_instructions() frees memory occupied by
smp_locks section immediately after patching the lock instructions.

The memory is freed using free_init_pages() that calls free_reserved_area()
that essentially does __free_page() for every page in the range.

Up until recently it didn't update memblock state so in cases when
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is enabled (on x86 it is selected by
INTEL_TDX_HOST), the state of memblock and the memory map would be
inconsistent.

Additionally, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled, freeing of
smp_locks happens before the memory map is fully initialized and freeing
reserved memory may cause an access to not-yet-initialized struct page when
__free_page() searches for a buddy page.

Following the discussion in [1], implementation of memblock_free_late() and
free_reserved_area() was unified to ensure that reserved memory that's
freed after memblock transfers the pages to the buddy allocator is actually
freed and that the memblock and the memory map are consistent. As a part of
these changes, free_reserved_area() now WARN()s when it is called before
the initialization of the memory map is complete.

The memory map is fully initialized in page_alloc_init_late() that
completes before initcalls are executed, so it is safe to free reserved
memory in any initcall except early_initcall().

Move freeing of smp_locks section to an initcall to ensure it will happen
after the memory map is fully initialized. Since it does not matter which
exactly initcall to use and the code lives in arch/, pick arch_initcall.
