After a memory error happens on a clean folio, a process unexpectedly receives SIGBUS when it accesses the error page. This SIGBUS killing is pointless and simply degrades the level of RAS of the system, because the clean folio can be dropped without any data lost on memory error handling as we do for a clean pagecache. When memory_failure() is called on a clean folio, try_to_unmap() is called twice (one from split_huge_page() and one from hwpoison_user_mappings()). The root cause of the issue is that pte conversion to hwpoisoned entry is now done in the first call of try_to_unmap() because PageHWPoison is already set at this point, while it's actually expected to be done in the second call. This behavior disturbs the error handling operation like removing pagecache, which results in the malfunction described above. So convert TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON into TTU_HWPOISON and set TTU_HWPOISON only when we really intend to convert pte to hwpoison entry. This can prevent other callers of try_to_unmap() from accidentally converting to hwpoison entries.
