I think we can address the raw hwpoison page by the offset in folio/hugepage
to eliminate the concept of "subpage".

I originally introduced the abbreviation "hwp" to avoid using a lengthy
function name such as "folio_test_hugetlb_raw_hwpoison_unreliable()."
Therefore, I prefer using "rawhwp" instead of a longer form like
"raw_hwpoison," although I don't expect any confusion between "hwp" and
"rawhwp."
As for "hwp_walk", another user of "hwp" in in mm/memory-failure.c,
we can easily substitute it with "hwpoison_walk."
