[PATCH v4 1/3] mm/memory-failure: report MF_MSG_KERNEL for reserved pages

[Breno Leitao]

When get_hwpoison_page() returns a negative value, distinguish
reserved pages from other failure cases by reporting MF_MSG_KERNEL
instead of MF_MSG_GET_HWPOISON. Reserved pages belong to the kernel
and should be classified accordingly for proper handling.
