Subject: [RFC] HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page

This patch is to extends soft offlining framework to support
non-lru page, which already support migration after
commit bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page
migration")

When memory corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page,
we can choose to stop using it by migrating data onto another
page and disable the original (maybe half-broken) one.
