The following VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() is triggered when memory error event
happens on the (thp/folio) pages which are about to be freed:

As shown in the RIP address, this VM_BUG_ON in folio_entire_mapcount() is
called from dump_page("hwpoison: unhandlable page") in get_any_page().
The below explains the mechanism of the race:

  CPU 0                                       CPU 1

    memory_failure
      get_hwpoison_page
        get_any_page
          dump_page
            compound = PageCompound
                                                free_pages_prepare
                                                  page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP
            folio_entire_mapcount
              VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio))

So in order to avoid the BUG_ON, recheck PageCompound() before __dump_page()
prints out information about the head page.  Precisely saying, this does
not close up the race, but mitigates the impact to just inaccurate info,
which should be acceptable.

I'm actually not sure how widely the race condition could affect.
If we can consider this as a bug specific to memory_failure(), simply
replacing the dump_page() with simple printk() might be a proper fix
(I confirmed that that fix also works).  But if any other dump_page()'s
caller could race with freeing thp/folio, the more generic fix
(I'm suggesting in this patch) would be desirable.
