mm/page_alloc: mark pages freed by __free_pages_core() as not tagged

Onlining hotplugged memory (e.g., a dev_dax device bound to kmem) with
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG triggers:

  alloc_tag was not set
  WARNING: ./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:166 at __pgalloc_tag_sub+0x1fc/0x254
  Call trace:
   __pgalloc_tag_sub+0x1fc/0x254 (P)

Pages entering the buddy through __free_pages_core() have never been
allocated, so their allocation tag references are NULL.  The free path,
__free_pages_prepare() -> pgalloc_tag_sub(), expects a valid tag or a
CODETAG_EMPTY mark and warns otherwise.  Paths feeding never-allocated
pages into the buddy are therefore expected to mark them with
clear_page_tag_ref() first, like init_cma_reserved_pageblock() and
free_reserved_pages() do; of __free_pages_core()'s callers only
memblock_free_pages() clears the tag ref itself, and the hotplug
onlining path was missed.

Since all __free_pages_core() callers free never-allocated pages, mark the
head page as not tagged in __free_pages_core() itself instead of relying on
each caller, and drop the now-redundant clearing from
memblock_free_pages().
