Jian J Wang 425d25699b MdeModulePkg/Core: fix a logic hole in page free
This hole will cause page fault randomly. The root cause is that Guard
page, which is just freed back to page pool but not yet cleared not-
present attribute, will be allocated right away by internal function
CoreFreeMemoryMapStack(). The solution to this issue is to clear the
not-present attribute for freed Guard page before doing any free
operation, instead of after those operation.

The reason we didn't do this before is due to the fact that manipulating
page attributes might cause memory allocation action which would cause a
dead lock inside a memory allocation/free operation. So we always set or
unset Guard page outside the memory lock. After a thorough analysis, we
believe clearing a Guard page will not cause memory allocation because
memory we're to manipulate was already manipulated before for sure.
Therefore there should be no memory allocation occurring in this
situation.

Since we cleared Guard page not-present attribute before freeing instead
of after freeing, the debug code to clear freed memory can now be restored
to its original way (aka no checking and bypassing Guard page).
