madvise_hwpoison won't check if the page is small page or huge page and traverse in small page granularity against the range unconditional, which result in a printk flood "MCE xxx: already hardware poisoned" if the page is huge page. This patch fix it by increase compound_order(compound_head(page)) for huge page iterator.
