mm: avoid zeroing user movable page twice with init_on_alloc=1

Commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") forces allocated page to be zeroed in
post_alloc_hook() when init_on_alloc=1.

For order-0 folios, if arch does not define
vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio(), the default implementation again zeros
the page return from the buddy allocator.  So the page is zeroed twice.
Fix it by passing __GFP_ZERO instead to avoid double page zeroing.  At the
moment, s390,arm64,x86,alpha,m68k are not impacted since they define their
own vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio().

For >0 order folios (mTHP and PMD THP), folio_zero_user() is called to
zero the folio again.  Fix it by calling folio_zero_user() only if
init_on_alloc is set.  All arch are impacted.

Add alloc_zeroed() helper to encapsulate the init_on_alloc check.
