A bit weird to me. IIUC, this means the number of **software** poisoned
pages instead of **hardware**. The prefix "hw" may be not suitable.  How
about "poisoned-pages" (a little simplified), "poisoned-pfns" (keep the
name consistent with "corrupt-pfn" and "unpoison-pfn") or "swpoisoned-pages"
(sw means software)?

__module_get() is enough since we already hold a refcount at open time.
This WARN_ON() will not be triggered unless something unexpected happens.
