Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.

The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
        - corrupt-filter-dev-major
        - corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.

The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

Haicheng: clear PG_hwpoison and drop bad page count if filter not OK
