Subject: mm/memory-failure.c: shift page lock from head page to tail page after thp split

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>

commit 54b9dd14d09f24927285359a227aa363ce46089e upstream.

After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the
raw error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race
condition.

I found in the RHEL7 MCE-relay testing that we have "bad page" error
when a memory error happens on a thp tail page used by qemu-kvm:

  Triggering MCE exception on CPU 10
  mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

The reason of this bug is that a page fault happens before unlocking the
head page at the end of memory_failure().  This strange page fault is
trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does
this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the
way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked
page (which was the former head page.)

To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to
tail page just after thp split.  SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects
only error affected VMs, not a whole system.
