HWPOISON: Add unpoisoning support



The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)

There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.

Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.
Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system
before exhausting memory.

AK: Fix comments, add documentation, add printks, rename symbol
