After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the raw
error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race condition.
I found in the RHEL7 MCE-relay testing that we have "bad page" error
when a memory error happens on a thp tail page used by qemu-kvm:
Triggering MCE exception on CPU 10

The reason of this bug is that a page fault happens before unlocking
the head page at the end of memory_failure().
This strange page fault is trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not
sure why qemu-kvm does this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes
qemu-kvm exit and on the way we catch the bad page bug/warning because
we try to free a locked page (which was the former head page.)
To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to
tail page just after thp split. SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects
only error affected VMs, not a whole system.
