Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 04/16] mm,hwpoison-inject: don't pin for hwpoison_filter

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@...jp.nec.com>

Another memory error injection interface debugfs:hwpoison/corrupt-pfn
also takes bogus refcount for hwpoison_filter(). It's justified
because this does a coarse filter, expecting that memory_failure()
redoes the check for sure.
