memory-failure: fix an error of mce_bad_pages statistics
When doing
$ echo paddr > /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page
to offline a *free* page, the value of mce_bad_pages will be added, and
the page is set HWPoison flag, but it is still managed by page buddy
alocator.
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep HardwareCorrupted
shows the value.
If we offline the same page, the value of mce_bad_pages will be added
*again*, this means the value is incorrect now. Assume the page is
still free during this short time.
soft_offline_page()
get_any_page()
"else if (is_free_buddy_page(p))" branch return 0
"goto done";
"atomic_long_add(1, &mce_bad_pages);"
This patch:
Move poisoned page check at the beginning of the function in order to
fix the error.
