Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm/hwpoison: fix traverse hugetlbfs page to avoid printk flood

madvise_hwpoison won't check if the page is small page or huge page and traverse 
in small page granularity against the range unconditional, which result in a printk 
flood "MCE xxx: already hardware poisoned" if the page is huge page. This patch fix 
it by increase compound_order(compound_head(page)) for huge page iterator.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 3
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096 * 512

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, 0, 0);

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;
	
	munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

	return 0;
}
