mm/hwpoison: fix race against poison thp

Browse Source 
There is a race between hwpoison page and unpoison page, memory_failure
set the page hwpoison and increase num_poisoned_pages without hold page
lock, and one page count will be accounted against thp for
num_poisoned_pages.  However, unpoison can occur before memory_failure
hold page lock and split transparent hugepage, unpoison will decrease
num_poisoned_pages by 1 << compound_order since memory_failure has not yet
split transparent hugepage with page lock held.  That means we account one
page for hwpoison and 1 << compound_order for unpoison.  This patch fix it
by inserting a PageTransHuge check before doing TestClearPageHWPoison,
unpoison failed without clearing PageHWPoison and decreasing
num_poisoned_pages.

            A                                                 	B
    	memory_failue
        TestSetPageHWPoison(p);
        if (PageHuge(p))
            nr_pages = 1 << compound_order(hpage);
        else
            nr_pages = 1;
        atomic_long_add(nr_pages, &num_poisoned_pages);
                                                            unpoison_memory
	                                                        nr_pages = 1<< compound_trans_order(page);
                                                            if(TestClearPageHWPoison(p))
                                                            atomic_long_sub(nr_pages, &num_poisoned_pages);
        lock page
        if (!PageHWPoison(p))
        	unlock page and return
        hwpoison_user_mappings
        if (PageTransHuge(hpage))
        	split_huge_page(hpage);
