[PATCH v1 2/6] mm/hwpoison: remove race consideration

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Sun Jun 13 2021 - 22:13:47 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

Now memory_failure() and unpoison_memory() are protected by mf_mutex,
so no need to explicitly check races between them. So remove them.
