Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page frames that
belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or non-LRU(unknown page state).
In other word, the result of handling either of these victimized page frames is
(IGNORED | FAILED), and the return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY.
This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to the "true"
value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that action_result() can report more
precise information("reserved kernel", "kernel slab", and "unknown page state")
instead of "non LRU", especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.
