[PATCH 4/4] mm,hwpoison: Drop unneeded pcplist draining

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Wed Sep 02 2020 - 05:45:31 EST


memory_failure and soft_offline_path paths now drain pcplists by calling
get_hwpoison_page.
memory_failure flags the page as HWPoison before, so that page cannot longer
go into a pcplist, and soft_offline_page only flags a page as HWPoison
if 1) we took the page off a buddy freelist 2) the page was in-use
and we migrated it 3) was a clean pagecache.

Because of that, a page cannot longer be poisoned and be in a pcplist.
