It's racy in free huge page detection.
alloc_huge_page() does not increase page refcount inside hugetlb_lock,
the alloc_huge_page()=>alloc_buddy_huge_page() path even drops the
lock temporarily! Then we never know reliably if a huge page is really
free.
Here is a scratched fix. It is totally untested. Just want to notice
you that with this patch, the huge page unpoisoning should go easier.
Thanks,
Fengguang
