Prevent a page with a physical memory error from being placed back on the LRU. A new page flag (PG_memerror) is added if CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED is defined. If the migration of data off the old page fails, PG_memerror is cleared and the page placed back on the LRU. If the page gets another correctable error another attempt will be made to migrate it.
