Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: don't delete error page from pagecache

This change is very similar to the change that was made for shmem [1],
and it solves the same problem but for HugeTLBFS instead.

Currently, when poison is found in a HugeTLB page, the page is removed
from the page cache. That means that attempting to map or read that
hugepage in the future will result in a new hugepage being allocated
instead of notifying the user that the page was poisoned. As [1] states,
this is effectively memory corruption.

The fix is to leave the page in the page cache. If the user attempts to
use a poisoned HugeTLB page with a syscall, the syscall will fail with
EIO, the same error code that shmem uses. For attempts to map the page,
the thread will get a BUS_MCEERR_AR SIGBUS.

[1]: commit a76054266661 ("mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens")
