Subject: [PATCH 5.14 001/162] mm, hwpoison: add is_free_buddy_page() in HWPoisonHandlable()

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

commit acfa299a4a63a58e5e81a87cb16798f20d35f7d7 upstream.

Commit fcc00621d88b ("mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for
unhandlable pages") changed the return value of __get_hwpoison_page() to
retry for transiently unhandlable cases.  However, __get_hwpoison_page()
currently fails to properly judge buddy pages as handlable, so hard/soft
offline for buddy pages always fail as "unhandlable page".  This is
totally regrettable.

So let's add is_free_buddy_page() in HWPoisonHandlable(), so that
__get_hwpoison_page() returns different return values between buddy
pages and unhandlable pages as intended.
