Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/memory-failure: introduce get_hwpoison_page() for
 consistent refcount handling

memory_failrue() can run in 2 different mode (specified by MF_COUNT_INCREASED)
in page refcount perspective. When MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failrue()
assumes that the caller takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared,
memory_failure() takes it in it's own.

In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller. For
example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and hwpoison_inject()
uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent refcounting causes refcount
failure especially for thp tail pages. Typical user visible effects are like
memory leak or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page().

To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page() to
handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison code.

There's a non-trivial change around unpoisoning, which now returns immediately
for thp with "MCE: Memory failure is now running on %#lx\n" message. This is
not right when split_huge_page() fails. So this patch also allows
unpoison_memory() to handle thp.
