[ Upstream commit 888af2701db79b9b27c7e37f9ede528a5ca53b76 ]

Patch series "A few fixup patches for memory failure", v2.

This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page
compound page, make non-LRU movable pages unhandlable and so on. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.

There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page
could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just
before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window:

CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.

get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...

If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is
introduced to record this event.
