Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm/hwpoison: don't set migration type twice to avoid hold heavy contend zone->lock

Set pageblock migration type will hold zone->lock which is heavy contended 
in system to avoid race. However, soft offline page will set pageblock 
migration type twice during get page if the page is in used, not hugetlbfs 
page and not on lru list. There is unnecessary to set the pageblock migration
type and hold heavy contended zone->lock again if the first round get page 
have already set the pageblock to right migration type.
