mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation
A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."
Two main changes of this patch are:
- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
after put_page() returns,
- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
that is decided to be allocated soon.
