Subject: [PATCH] HWPOISON: fix oops on ksm pages

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@...cali.co.uk>

Memory failure on a KSM page currently oopses on its NULL anon_vma in
page_lock_anon_vma(): that may not be much worse than the consequence
of ignoring it, but it is better to be consistent with how ZERO_PAGE
and hugetlb pages and other awkward cases are treated.  Just skip it.
