I don't think this works for hwpoisoned hugetlb pages that have PageHWPoison
set on the head page, rather than on the raw subpage. In the case of
hwpoisoned thps, PageHWPoison is set on the raw subpage, not on the head
pages.  (I believe this is not detected because no one considers the
scenario of unpoisoning hwpoisoned thps, which is a rare case).  Perhaps the
function is_page_hwpoison() would be useful for this purpose?

Thanks,
