core, x86: make LIST_POISON less deadly

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads.  Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.

To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.

Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

[ingo: switch to 0xdead000000000000 as the unmapped area]
[ingo: add comments, cleanup]
[jaswinder: eliminate sparse warnings]
