Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/mm: Forbid the zero page once it has uncorrectable errors

Accessing to the zero page with uncorrectable errors causes unexpected
machine checks. So forbid the zero page from being used by user-space
processes once it has uncorrectable errors. Processes that have already
mapped the zero page with uncorrectable errors will get killed once they
access to it. New processes will not use the zero page.

1) Processes that have already mapped the zero page with uncorrectable
   errors could be recovered by attaching a new zeroed anonymous page.
   But this may need to walk all page tables for all such processes to
   update the PTEs pointing to the zero page. Looks like a big modification
   for a rare problem?

2) Some validation tests that sometimes pick up the virtual address
   mapped to the zero page to inject errors get themself killed and can't
   run anymore until reboot the system. To avoid injecting errors to the
   zero page, please refer to the path:
