Can we really handle non-LRU movable pages in memory failure
(uncorrectable errors)? Typically they are balloon, zsmalloc, etc.
Assuming we run into a base (4K) non-LRU movable page, we could reach
as far as identify_page_state(), it should not fall into any category
except me_unknown. So it seems we could just simply make it
unhandlable.

But it should be handlable for soft-offline since it could be migrated.
