Origianlly, unpoison_memory() is only used by hwpoison-inject, and

On a virtualization platform, it's possible to fix hardware corrupted page
by hypervisor, typically the hypervisor remaps the error HVA(host virtual
address). So add a new parameter 'const char *reason' to show the reason
called by.
Once the corrupted page gets fixed, the guest kernel needs put page to
buddy. Reuse the page and hit the following issue(Intel Platinum 8260):
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888061646000

The kernel PTE entry of the fixed page is still uncorrected, kernel hits
page fault during prep_new_page. So add 'bool reset_kpte' to get a change
to fix the PTE entry if the page is fixed by hypervisor.

Do you need undoing rate limiting here? In the original unpoison's usage,
avoiding flood of "Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page" messages is helpful.
And unpoison seems to be called from virtio-balloon multiple times when
the backend is 2MB hugepages. If it's right, printing out 512 lines of
"Unpoison: Unpoisoned page 0xXXX by virtio-balloon" messages might not be
so helpful?
All the suggestions(include '[PATCH 1/3] memory-failure: Introduce
memory failure notifier') are reasonable, I'll fix them in the next
version. Thanks a lot!
