[v5 PATCH 2/6] mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage for PMD page fault

When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be PMD
mapped if certain conditions are satisfied. But kernel is supposed to
send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.

There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular fault.

Before commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths")
the thing was even worse in fault around path. The THP could be PMD mapped as
long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is accessed and corrupted. After
this commit as long as head page is not corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.

In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the corrupted
page is not accessed and the VMA fits.

This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault path.

So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail page. It
indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s). It is set if any subpage of THP
is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the refcount is bumped
successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or split.

The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

Fixes: 800d8c63b2e9 ("shmem: add huge pages support")
