Subject: [PATCH v1] mm: hwpoison: fix thp split handling in memory_failure()

When memory_failure() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is split, we trigger
the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE():

  [  619.550520] page:ffffd7cd819b0040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:         (null) index:0x1
  [  619.555486] flags: 0x1fffc000400000(hwpoison)
  [  619.556408] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(p))
  [  619.558998] ------------[ cut here ]------------
  [  619.561388] kernel BUG at /src/linux-dev/mm/memory-failure.c:1132!

memory_failure() passed refcount and page lock from tail page to head page,
which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to split_huge_page().
