I guess that you have the similar fix on memory_failure() in your mind:

  commit c3901e722b2975666f42748340df798114742d6d
  Author: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>
  Date:   Thu Nov 10 10:46:23 2016 -0800
  
      mm: hwpoison: fix thp split handling in memory_failure()

So it seems that I somehow missed fixing soft offline when I wrote commit
c3901e722b29, and now you find and fix that. Thank you very much.
If you resend the patch with fixing typo, can you add some reference to
c3901e722b29 in the patch description to show the linkage?
And you can add the following tags:

Fixes: 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP")
