Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm/hwpoison: fix the lack of one reference count against poisoned page 

The lack of one reference count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/o 
hwpoison_filter enabled result in hwpoison detect -1 users still referenced 
the page, however, the number should be 0 except the poison handler held one 
after successfully unmap. This patch fix it by hold one referenced count against 
poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/ and w/o hwpoison_filter enabled.

Before patch:

[   71.902112] Injecting memory failure at pfn 224706
[   71.902137] MCE 0x224706: dirty LRU page recovery: Failed
[   71.902138] MCE 0x224706: dirty LRU page still referenced by -1 users

After patch:

[   94.710860] Injecting memory failure at pfn 215b68
[   94.710885] MCE 0x215b68: dirty LRU page recovery: Recovered
