Next-20200626 failed to compile due to this series. Reverting the whole
thing [1] will fix the issue below right away,

mm/memory-failure.c: In function ‘__soft_offline_page’:
mm/memory-failure.c:1827:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘page_handle_poison’; did you mean ‘page_init_poison’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   page_handle_poison(page, false, true);
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   page_init_poison
