Subject: [PATCH v1] mm: soft-offline: exit with failure for non anonymous thp

Currently memory_failure() doesn't handle non anonymous thp case, because we
can hardly expect the error handling to be successful, and it can just hit
some corner case which results in BUG_ON or something severe like that.
This is also a case for soft offline code, so let's make it in the same way.
