KHO uses struct pages for the preserved memory early in boot, however, with deferred struct page initialization, only a small portion of memory has properly initialized struct pages.
This problem was detected where vmemmap is poisoned, and illegal flag combinations are detected.
Don't allow them to be enabled together, and later we will have to teach KHO to work properly with deferred struct page init kernel feature.
