Subject: [PATCH v1] mm,hwpoison: set PG_hwpoison for busy hugetlb pages

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

If memory_failure() fails to grab page refcount on a hugetlb page
because it's busy, it returns without setting PG_hwpoison on it.
This not only loses a chance of error containment, but breaks the rule
that action_result() should be called only when memory_failure() do
any of handling work (even if that's just setting PG_hwpoison).
This inconsistency could harm code maintainability.

So set PG_hwpoison and call hugetlb_set_page_hwpoison() for such a case.

Fixes: 405ce051236c ("mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb()")
