mm: hwpoison: dissolve in-use hugepage in unrecoverable memory error
Currently me_huge_page() relies on dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() to keep the error hugepage away from the system, which is OK but not good enough because the hugepage still has a refcount and unpoison doesn't work on the error hugepage (PageHWPoison flags are cleared but pages are still leaked.) And there's "wasting health subpages" issue too. This patch reworks on me_huge_page() to solve these issues. For hugetlb file, recently we have truncating code so let's use it in hugetlbfs specific ->error_remove_page(). For anonymous hugepage, it's helpful to dissolve the error page after freeing it into free hugepage list. Migration entry and PageHWPoison in the head page prevent the access to it. TODO: dissolve_free_huge_page() can fail but we don't considered it yet. It's not critical (and at least no worse that now) because in such case the error hugepage just stays in free hugepage list without being dissolved. By virtue of PageHWPoison in head page, it's never allocated to processes.
