[PATCH v3 5/5] mm/memory-failure: send SIGBUS in the event of thp split fail

[Jane Chu <jane.chu@oracle.com>]

While handling hwpoison in a THP page, it is possible that
try_to_split_thp_page() fails. For example, when the THP page has
been RDMA pinned. At this point, the kernel cannot isolate the
poisoned THP page, all it could do is to send a SIGBUS to the user
process with meaningful payload to give user-level recovery a chance.
