Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm: memory-failure: avoid false hwpoison page mapped error info

folio->_mapcount is overloaded in SLAB, so folio_mapped() has to be done
after folio_test_slab() is checked. Otherwise slab folio might be treated
as a mapped folio leading to false 'Someone maps the hwpoison page' error
info.

Fixes: 230ac719c500 ("mm/hwpoison: don't try to unpoison containment-failed pages")
