memory-failure was the old name before hwpoison as a term was invented
by Andrew.

In theory it would make sense to rename everything to "hwpoison" now.
But I decided so far the disadvantages from breaking user configurations
and the impact from renaming files far outweight the small benefits
in clarity.

So right now I prefer to keep the status quo, but name everything
new hwpoison.
