mm/hwpoison: introduce per-memory_block hwpoison counter

Currently PageHWPoison flag does not behave well when experiencing memory
hotremove/hotplug.  Any data field in struct page is unreliable when the
associated memory is offlined, and the current mechanism can't tell
whether a memory block is onlined because a new memory devices is
installed or because previous failed offline operations are undone. 
Especially if there's a hwpoisoned memory, it's unclear what the best
option is.

So introduce a new mechanism to make struct memory_block remember that a
memory block has hwpoisoned memory inside it.  And make any online event
fail if the onlining memory block contains hwpoison.  struct memory_block
is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over
sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug.  So the new counter can distinguish these
cases.
