Hmm, we had better call hwpoison_filter in page lock for hugepages.
I'll move this too, thank you.

Good point, I even didn't notice that. And the issue still seems to exist
for normal page's cases.  Maybe encountering "already hwpoisoned" case from
madvise_inject_error() is rare but could happen when the first call failed
to contain the error (which is still accessible from the calling process).

I'll do this.

Thank you for the review and suggestions,
