arm64 calls memblock_free() for the initrd area in its implementation of free_initrd_mem(), but this call has no actual effect that late in the boot process. By the time initrd is freed, all the reserved memory is managed by the page allocator and the memblock.reserved is unused, so the only purpose of the memblock_free() call is to keep track of initrd memory for debugging and accounting. Without the memblock_free() call the only difference between arm64 and the generic versions of free_initrd_mem() is the memory poisoning. Move memblock_free() call to the generic code, enable it there for the architectures that define ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and use the generic implementation of free_initrd_mem() on arm64.

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.
