Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] mm,hwpoison: fix race with compound page allocation

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

When hugetlb page fault (under overcommiting situation) and
memory_failure() race, VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is triggered by the following race:

    CPU0:                           CPU1:

                                    gather_surplus_pages()
                                      page = alloc_surplus_huge_page()
    memory_failure_hugetlb()
      get_hwpoison_page(page)
        __get_hwpoison_page(page)
          get_page_unless_zero(page)
                                      zero = put_page_testzero(page)
                                      VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zero, page)
                                      enqueue_huge_page(h, page)
      put_page(page)

__get_hwpoison_page() only checks page refcount before taking additional
one for memory error handling, which is wrong because there's time
windows where compound pages have non-zero refcount during initialization.

So makes __get_hwpoison_page() check page status a bit more for a few
types of compound pages. PageSlab() check is added because otherwise
"non anonymous thp" path is wrongly chosen.

Fixes: ead07f6a867b ("mm/memory-failure: introduce get_hwpoison_page() for consistent refcount handling")
