Thinking again, wouldn't we get -EFAULT from __get_user_pages_locked() 
when stumbling over a hwpoisoned page?

See __get_user_pages_locked()->__get_user_pages()->faultin_page():

handle_mm_fault()->vm_fault_to_errno(), which translates 
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON to -EFAULT, unless FOLL_HWPOISON is set (-> -EHWPOISON)
