Subject: [PATCH v3 01/15] mm,hwpoison: cleanup unused PageHuge() check

From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@....com>

Drop the PageHuge check, which is dead code since memory_failure() forks
into memory_failure_hugetlb() for hugetlb pages.

memory_failure() and memory_failure_hugetlb() shares some functions like
hwpoison_user_mappings() and identify_page_state(), so they should properly
handle 4kB page, thp, and hugetlb.

changelog v2 -> v3:
- add description about shared logic b/w hugetlb and non-hugetlb path.
