And maybe because you can avoid doing INIT_LIST_HEAD (which seems
doable in folio_set_hugetlb_hwpoison if hugepage is hwpoison-ed for
the first time)?

I will start to work on a separate patch to switch to list_head, and
make sure operations from __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio and
memory_failure are serialized (hopefully without intro new locks and
just use mf_mutex).
