When restoring a page, no sanity checks are done to make sure the page actually came from a kexec handover. The caller is trusted to pass in the right address. If the caller has a bug and passes in a wrong address, an in-use page might be "restored" and returned, causing all sorts of memory corruption. Harden the page restore logic by stashing in a magic number in page->private along with the order. If the magic number does not match, the page won't be touched. page->private is an unsigned long. The union kho_page_info splits it into two parts, with one holding the order and the other holding the magic number.
