From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fcc00621d88b274b5dffd8daeea71d0e4c28b84e ] HWPoisonHandlable() sometimes returns false for typical user pages due to races with average memory events like transfers over LRU lists. This causes failures in hwpoison handling. There's retry code for such a case but does not work because the retry loop reaches the retry limit too quickly before the page settles down to handlable state. Let get_any_page() call shake_page() to fix it.
