Encode huge page size for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errors
This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage that caused a HWPOISON fault. Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy access to the struct page. Pass the information out in the fault error code instead. I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize changes. Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift. Will be used in a further patch.
