zhenwei pi 67f22ba775 mm/memory-failure: disable unpoison once hw error happens
Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only.  Since 17fae1294a, the KPTE gets cleared
on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.

Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the
kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE.  This
leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.

Suggested by David&Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error
happens to avoid BUG like this:

 Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page 0x61234
 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888061234000
 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
