Subject: mm,hwpoison: cleanup unused PageHuge() check

Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offline rework", v5.

Main focus of this series is to stabilize soft offline.  Historically soft
offlined pages have suffered from racy conditions because PageHWPoison is
used to a little too aggressively, which (directly or indirectly) invades
other mm code which cares little about hwpoison.  This results in
unexpected behavior or kernel panic, which is very far from soft offline's
"do not disturb userspace or other kernel component" policy.

Main point of this change set is to contain target page "via buddy
allocator", where we first free the target page as we do for normal pages,
and remove from buddy only when we confirm that it reaches free list. 
There is surely race window of page allocation, but that's fine because
someone really want that page and the page is still working, so soft
offline can happily give up.


This patch (of 16):

Drop the PageHuge check, which is dead code since memory_failure() forks
into memory_failure_hugetlb() for hugetlb pages.

memory_failure() and memory_failure_hugetlb() shares some functions like
hwpoison_user_mappings() and identify_page_state(), so they should
properly handle 4kB page, thp, and hugetlb.
