Subject: [PATCH] mm/hwpoison: move set_migratetype_isolate() outside
 get_any_page()

Chen Gong pointed out that set/unset_migratetype_isolate() was done in
different functions in mm/memory-failure.c, which makes the code less
readable/maintenable. So this patch makes it done in soft_offline_page().

With this patch, we get to hold lock_memory_hotplug() longer but it's not
a problem because races between memory hotplug and soft offline are very rare.

This patch is against next-20130910.
