Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] mm: memory-failure: fix race window when trying to get hugetlb folio

page_folio() is fetched before calling get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio()
without hugetlb_lock being held. So hugetlb page could be demoted
before get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio() holding hugetlb_lock but after
page_folio() is fetched. So get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio() will hold
unexpected extra refcnt of hugetlb folio while leaving demoted page
un-refcnted.
