is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is
hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped. While
get_user_pages_hwpoison will check both.
In a following patch, we will introduce unpoison_address, which will
clear the poisoned page table entry to make it possible to allocate a
new memory page for the virtual address. But it is also possible that
the underlying memory page is kept poisoned even after the
corresponding page table entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page
can not be allocated. get_user_pages_hwpoison can catch these
situations.
