Subject: [PATCH 2/7] check hugepage swap entry in get_user_pages_fast()

When the hugepage associated with a given address is HWPOISONed
or under page migration, get_user_pages_fast() need to fall back
to slow path in order to make the page fault fail (when HWPOISONed)
or to wait for migration completion (when under migration.)
