[ 91.290550] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 1
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096

int main(void)
{
char *mem;

mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
return -1;

munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

return 0;
}

There is one page reference count for default empty zero page, madvise_hwpoison
add another one by get_user_pages_fast. memory_hwpoison reduce one page reference
count since it's a non LRU page. unpoison_memory release the last page reference
count and free empty zero page to buddy system which is not correct since empty
zero page has PG_reserved flag. This patch fix it by don't reduce the page
reference count under 1 against empty zero page.
