Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is
 split to >0 order

folio split clears PG_has_hwpoisoned, but the flag should be preserved in
after-split folios containing pages with PG_hwpoisoned flag if the folio
is split to >0 order folios.  Scan all pages in a to-be-split folio to
determine which after-split folios need the flag.

An alternatives is to change PG_has_hwpoisoned to PG_maybe_hwpoisoned to
avoid the scan and set it on all after-split folios, but resulting false
positive has undesirable negative impact.  To remove false positive,
caller of folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() and folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page()
needs to do the scan.  That might be causing a hassle for current and
future callers and more costly than doing the scan in the split code.
More details are discussed in [1].

This issue can be exposed via:
1. splitting a has_hwpoisoned folio to >0 order from debugfs interface;
2. truncating part of a has_hwpoisoned folio in
   truncate_inode_partial_folio().

And later accesses to a hwpoisoned page could be possible due to the
missing has_hwpoisoned folio flag.  This will lead to MCE errors.
