mm: hugetlb: prevent reuse of hwpoisoned free hugepages



Patch series "mm: hwpoison: fixlet for hugetlb migration".

This patchset updates the hwpoison/hugetlb code to address 2 reported
issues.

One is madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) failure reported by Intel's lkp robot (see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170417055948.GM31394@yexl-desktop.) First
half was already fixed in mainline, and another half about hugetlb cases
are solved in this series.

Another issue is "narrow-down error affected region into a single 4kB
page instead of a whole hugetlb page" issue, which was tried by Anshuman
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170420110627.12307-1-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com)
and I updated it to apply it more widely.

This patch (of 9):

We no longer use MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent reuse of hwpoison hugepages
as we did before.  So current dequeue_huge_page_node() doesn't work as
intended because it still uses is_migrate_isolate_page() for this check.
This patch fixes it with PageHWPoison flag.
