For successfully handled pages, they should be non-compound pages (dissolved, splitted or normal pages).
So this patch makes no change for them. But for failed to hwpoisoned thp and hugetlb, there's some difference.
But since Naoya points out that, "the users of unpoison should know where the PageHWPoison is set via
/proc/kpageflags.", I'm fine with this patch.
