I wonder if a simple

if (PageHWPoison(compound_head(page)))
        ret = 0;

won't suffice. But I guess the "issue" is compound pages that are not huge
pages or transparent huge pages.

THPs don't set the HWPoison bit on the head page.

Oh, okay -- I was missing that we actually already set the HWPoison bit before trying to split via TestSetPageHWPoison(). I thought for a second that if splitting fails, we don't set any HWPoison bit.
