mm/hwpoison: fix loss of PG_dirty for errors on mlocked pages



memory_failure() store the page flag of the error page before doing unmap,
and (only) if the first check with page flags at the time decided the
error page is unknown, it do the second check with the stored page flag
since memory_failure() does unmapping of the error pages before doing
page_action().  This unmapping changes the page state, especially
page_remove_rmap() (called from try_to_unmap_one()) clears PG_mlocked, so
page_action() can't catch mlocked pages after that.

However, memory_failure() can't handle memory errors on dirty mlocked
pages correctly.  try_to_unmap_one will move the dirty bit from pte to the
physical page, the second check lose it since it check the stored page
flag.  This patch fix it by restore PG_dirty flag to stored page flag if
the page is dirty.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 2
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_LOCKED, 0, 0);

	for (i = 0; i < PAGES_TO_TEST; i++)
		mem[i * PAGE_SIZE] = 'a';

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;

	return 0;
}
