Subject: [PATCH 1/3] HWPOISON, hugetlbfs: fix warning on freeing hwpoisoned hugepage

This patch fixes the warning from __list_del_entry() which is triggered
when a process tries to do free_huge_page() for a hwpoisoned hugepage.

Originally, page->lru of hugetlbfs head page was dangling when the
hugepage was in use. This behavior has changed by commit 0edaecfab218d7
("hugetlb: add a list for tracking in-use HugeTLB pages"), where hugepages
in use are linked to hugepage_activelist. HWpoisoned hugepages should not
be charged to any process, so we introduce another list to link hwpoisoned
hugepages.
