Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: check_new_page_bad() directly returns in __PG_HWPOISON
case
Currently we check page->flags twice for "HWPoisoned" case of
check_new_page_bad(), which can cause a race with unpoisoning.
This race unnecessarily taints kernel with "BUG: Bad page state".
check_new_page_bad() is the only caller of bad_page() which is interested
in __PG_HWPOISON, so let's move the hwpoison related code in bad_page()
to it.
