Yeah, these could be possible. I suggested them to get the same result
regardless of calling interfaces of memory_failure(). How huge_zero pages
should be handled is separate from the reported issue on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(),
so it would require a separate patch (which updates MF_COUNT_INCREASED=true
case too).
