The folio migration is widely used in kernel, memory compaction, memory
hotplug, soft offline page, numa balance, memory demote/promotion, etc,
but once access a poisoned source folio when migrating, the kerenl will
panic.
There is a mechanism in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable memory
errors, ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC, which is already used in other core-mm paths,
eg, CoW, khugepaged, coredump, ksm copy, see copy_mc_to_{user,kernel},
copy_mc_{user_}highpage callers.
In order to support poisoned folio copy recover from migrate folio, we
chose to make folio migration tolerant of memory failures and return
error for folio migration, because folio migration is no guarantee
of success, this could avoid the similar panic shown below.
