Subject: [PATCH] HWPOISON: Add PROC_FS dependency to hwpoison injector v2

Hi Linus,

This fixes a obscure build problem with the hwpoison injector 
code, found by Ingo's tip compilation testing. The injector requires
PROC_FS and doesn't build when it is disabled. Add suitable
dependencies and ifdefs. Please apply.
Thanks,
-Andi

HWPOISON: Add PROC_FS dependency to hwpoison injector v2

The injector filter requires stable_page_flags() which is supplied
by procfs. So make it dependent on that.

Also add ifdefs around the filter code in memory-failure.c so that
when the filter is disabled due to missing dependencies the whole
code still builds.
