is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is
hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped.  While
get_user_pages_hwpoison will check both.

QEMU will clear the poisoned page table entry (via unmap/map) to make
it possible to allocate a new memory page for the virtual address
across guest rebooting.  But it is also possible that the underlying
memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table
entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated.
get_user_pages_hwpoison can catch these situations.
