Currently, kernel_init_free_pages() serves two purposes: it either only zeroes memory or zeroes both memory and memory tags via a different code path. As this function has only two callers, each using only one code path, this behaviour is confusing. Pull the code that zeroes both memory and tags out of kernel_init_free_pages(). As a result of this change, the code in free_pages_prepare() starts to look complicated, but this is improved in the few following patches. Those improvements are not integrated into this patch to make diffs easier to read. This patch does no functional changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
