Subject: [PATCH 0/4] hwpoison fixes for v4.2

There are some long-standing issues on hwpoison, so this patchset mentions
them. I explain details about each bug in individual patches. In summary:

Patch 1: fix the wrong behavior in failing thp split

Patch 2: fix inconsistent refcounting problem on thp tail pages

Patch 3: fix isolation in soft offlining with keeping refcount

Patch 4: potential fix for me_huge_page()

The user visible effects of patch 1 to 3 are kernel panic with BUG_ON,
so I believe that this patchset helps hwpoison to be more reliable.

This series is based on v4.1-rc3 + Xie XiuQi's patch "memory-failure:
export page_type and action result".

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
