Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory-failure.c: recheck PageHuge() after hugetlb page
 migrate successfully

Changelog:
 - Only set PageHWPoison on the error raw page if page is freed into buddy

After a successful hugetlb page migration by soft offline, the source page
will either be freed into hugepage_freelists or buddy(over-commit page).
If page is in buddy, page_hstate(page) will be NULL. It will hit a NULL
pointer dereference in dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page().

[  890.677918] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
 0000000000000058
[  890.685741] IP: [<ffffffff81163761>]
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1d0
[  890.692861] PGD c23762067 PUD c24be2067 PMD 0
[  890.697314] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

So check PageHuge(page) after call migrate_pages() successfully.
