Um, no.  Nobody should use folio_test_hwpoison(), it's a nonsense.

Individual pages are hwpoisoned.  You're only testing the head page
if you use folio_test_hwpoison().  There's folio_has_hwpoisoned() to
test if _any_ page in the folio is poisoned.  But blindly converting
PageHWPoison to folio_test_hwpoison() is wrong.

If anyone knows how to poison folio_test_hwpoison() to make it not
work, I'd appreciate it.
