Subject: mm, hwpoison: add is_free_buddy_page() in HWPoisonHandlable()
commit fcc00621d88b ("mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for unhandlable
pages") changes the return value of __get_hwpoison_page() to retry for
transiently unhandlable cases. However, __get_hwpoison_page() currently
fails to properly judge buddy pages as handlable, so hard/soft offline for
buddy pages always fail as "unhandlable page". This is totally
regrettable.
So let's add is_free_buddy_page() in HWPoisonHandlable(), so that
__get_hwpoison_page() returns different return values between buddy
pages and unhandlable pages as intended.
