mm/hwpoison: fix race against poison thp
There is a race between hwpoison page and unpoison page, memory_failure
set the page hwpoison and increase num_poisoned_pages without hold page
lock, and one page count will be accounted against thp for
num_poisoned_pages. However, unpoison can occur before memory_failure
hold page lock and split transparent hugepage, unpoison will decrease
num_poisoned_pages by 1 << compound_order since memory_failure has not yet
split transparent hugepage with page lock held. That means we account one
page for hwpoison and 1 << compound_order for unpoison. This patch fix it
by inserting a PageTransHuge check before doing TestClearPageHWPoison,
unpoison failed without clearing PageHWPoison and decreasing
num_poisoned_pages.
