mm,hwpoison: fix race with hugetlb page allocation

When hugetlb page fault (under overcommitting situation) and
memory_failure() race, VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is triggered by the following
race:

    CPU0:                           CPU1:

                                    gather_surplus_pages()
                                      page = alloc_surplus_huge_page()
    memory_failure_hugetlb()
      get_hwpoison_page(page)
        __get_hwpoison_page(page)
          get_page_unless_zero(page)
                                      zero = put_page_testzero(page)
                                      VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zero, page)
                                      enqueue_huge_page(h, page)
      put_page(page)

__get_hwpoison_page() only checks the page refcount before taking an
additional one for memory error handling, which is not enough because
there's a time window where compound pages have non-zero refcount during
hugetlb page initialization.

So make __get_hwpoison_page() check page status a bit more for hugetlb
pages with get_hwpoison_huge_page().  Checking hugetlb-specific flags
under hugetlb_lock makes sure that the hugetlb page is not transitive.
It's notable that another new function, HWPoisonHandlable(), is helpful
to prevent a race against other transitive page states (like a generic
compound page just before PageHuge becomes true).
