It seems like that I should make the commit log more clear. If there is
a HWPoison hole in a HugeTLB, we should dissolve the HugeTLB page.
It means that we set the HWPoison on the raw error page(not the head
page) and free the HugeTLB to the buddy allocator. Then we will remove
only one HWPoison page from the buddy free list. You can see the
take_page_off_buddy() for more details. Thanks.
