mm/hwpoison: fix race between soft_offline_page and unpoison_memory

Wanpeng Li reported a race between soft_offline_page() and
unpoison_memory(), which causes the following kernel panic:

This race is explained like below:

  CPU0                    CPU1

  soft_offline_page
  __soft_offline_page
  TestSetPageHWPoison
                        unpoison_memory
                        PageHWPoison check (true)
                        TestClearPageHWPoison
                        put_page    -> release refcount held by get_hwpoison_page in unpoison_memory
                        put_page    -> release refcount held by isolate_lru_page in __soft_offline_page
  migrate_pages

The second put_page() releases refcount held by isolate_lru_page() which
will lead to unmap_and_move() releases the last refcount of page and w/
mapcount still 1 since try_to_unmap() is not called if there is only one
user map the page.  Anyway, the page refcount and mapcount will still
mess if the page is mapped by multiple users.

This race was introduced by commit 4491f71260 ("mm/memory-failure: set
PageHWPoison before migrate_pages()"), which focuses on preventing the
reuse of successfully migrated page.  Before this commit we prevent the
reuse by changing the migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE during soft
offlining, which has the following problems, so simply reverting the
commit is not a best option:

  1) it doesn't eliminate the reuse completely, because
     set_migratetype_isolate() can fail to set MIGRATE_ISOLATE to the
     target page if the pageblock of the page contains one or more
     unmovable pages (i.e.  has_unmovable_pages() returns true).

  2) the original code changes migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE
     forcibly, and sets it to MIGRATE_MOVABLE forcibly after soft offline,
     regardless of the original migratetype state, which could impact
     other subsystems like memory hotplug or compaction.

This patch moves PageSetHWPoison just after put_page() in
unmap_and_move(), which closes up the reported race window and minimizes
another race window b/w SetPageHWPoison and reallocation (which causes
the reuse of soft-offlined page.) The latter race window still exists
but it's acceptable, because it's rare and effectively the same as
ordinary "containment failure" case even if it happens, so keep the
window open is acceptable.
