Wanpeng Li reported a race between soft_offline_page() and unpoison_memory(),
which causes the following kernel panic:

This race is explained like below:
CPU0 CPU1
soft_offline_page
__soft_offline_page
TestSetPageHWPoison
unpoison_memory
PageHWPoison check (true)
TestClearPageHWPoison
put_page -> release refcount held by get_hwpoison_page in unpoison_memory
put_page -> release refcount held by isolate_lru_page in __soft_offline_page
migrate_pages
The second put_page() releases refcount held by isolate_lru_page() which
will lead to unmap_and_move() releases the last refcount of page and w/
mapcount still 1 since try_to_unmap() is not called if there is only
one user map the page. Anyway, the page refcount and mapcount will
still mess if the page is mapped by multiple users.
This race was introduced by commit 4491f71260 ("mm/memory-failure: set
PageHWPoison before migrate_pages()"), which focuses on preventing the reuse
of successfully migrated page. Before this commit we prevent the reuse by
changing the migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE during soft offlining, which has
the following problems, so simply reverting the commit is not a best option:
1) it doesn't eliminate the reuse completely, because set_migratetype_isolate()
can fail to set MIGRATE_ISOLATE to the target page if the pageblock of
the page contains one or more unmovable pages (i.e. has_unmovable_pages()
returns true).
2) the original code changes migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE forcibly,
and sets it to MIGRATE_MOVABLE forcibly after soft offline, regardless
of the original migratetype state, which could impact other subsystems
like memory hotplug or compaction.
This patch moves PageSetHWPoison just after put_page() in unmap_and_move(),
which closes up the reported race window and minimizes another race window b/w
SetPageHWPoison and reallocation (which causes the reuse of soft-offlined page.)
The latter race window still exists but it's acceptable, because it's rare and
effectively the same as ordinary "containment failure" case even if it happens,
so keep the window open is acceptable.
Fixes: 4491f71260 ("mm/memory-failure: set PageHWPoison before migrate_pages()")
