From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/hwpoison: fix page refcount of unknown non LRU page After trying to drain pages from pagevec/pageset, we try to get reference count of the page again, however, the reference count of the page is not reduced if the page is still not on LRU list. Fix it by adding the put_page() to drop the page reference which is from __get_any_page().
