Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] mm: rmap: Use correct helper when poisoning hugepages

Using set_pte_at() does not do the right thing when putting down
HWPOISON swap entries for hugepages on architectures that support
contiguous ptes.

Fix this problem by using set_huge_swap_pte_at() which was introduced to
fix exactly this problem.
