3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chen Yucong <sla...@gmail.com>
commit b985194c8c0a130ed155b71662e39f7eaea4876f upstream.
For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently. So we need to
check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.
If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
unlock_page(hpage).
