By commit 510d25c92ec4 ("mm/hwpoison: disable pcp for
page_handle_poison()"), __page_handle_poison() was
introduced, and if we mark:
RET_A = dissolve_free_huge_page();
RET_B = take_page_off_buddy();
then __page_handle_poison was supposed to return TRUE When
RET_A == 0 && RET_B == TRUE
But since it failed to take care the case when RET_A is
-EBUSY or -ENOMEM, and just return the ret as a bool which
actually become TRUE, it break the original logical.
The following result is a huge page in freelist but was
referenced as poisoned, and lead into the final panic:
kernel BUG at mm/internal.h:95!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

RIP: 0010:set_page_refcounted mm/internal.h:95 [inline]

This patch replace 'bool' with 'int' to handle RET_A correctly.
