mm/memory-failure: disable unpoison once hw error happens
Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, 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
