Similar to other poison recovery, use copy_mc_user_highpage() to
avoid potentially kernel panic during copy page in copy_present_page()
from fork, once copy failed due to hwpoison in source page, we need
to break out of copy in copy_pte_range() and release prealloc folio,
so copy_mc_user_highpage() is moved ahead before set *prealloc to NULL.

Will it be better to put checking ret against -EHWPOISON in a new line? -EAGAIN case will enter the
loop again but -EHWPOISON case never does.

Maybe not a newline since we will recheck the ret in the below and return directly from copy_present_page().

The caller of copy_pte_range() always set errno to -ENOMEM. So fork will failed with ENOMEM even if the real
cause is failed to copy due to hwpoison in source page. It's a pity.

Yes, it's not just the new -EHWPOISON, all other errnos(ENOENT/EIO) will be ignored and return -ENOMEM instead.


Thanks.
