In a similar manner to WRITE_AFTER_FREE, add a READ_AFTER_FREE
test to test free poisoning features. Sample output when
no poison is present:

[ 20.222501] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE
[ 20.226163] lkdtm: Freed val: 12345678

with poison:

[ 24.203748] lkdtm: Performing direct entry READ_AFTER_FREE
[ 24.207261] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
[ 24.208193] Modules linked in:
[ 24.208193] CPU: 0 PID: 866 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.4.0-rc5-work+ #108
