Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm: filemap: check if any subpage is hwpoisoned for PMD page fault

When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be PMD
mapped if certain conditions are satisfied.  But kernel is supposed to
send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.

There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular fault.

Before commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path.  The THP could be
PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is accessed and
corrupted.  After this commit as long as head page is not corrupted the THP
could be PMD mapped.

In the regulat fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the corrupted
page is not accessed and the VMA fits.

Fix the loophole by iterating all subpage to check hwpoisoned one when doing
PMD map, if any is found just fallback to PTE map.  Such THP just can be PTE
mapped.  Do the check in the icache flush loop in order to avoid iterating
all subpages twice and icache flush is actually noop for most architectures.
