[PATCH 5.1 13/55] mm: soft-offline: return -EBUSY if set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails

commit b38e5962f8ed0d2a2b28a887fc2221f7f41db119 upstream.

The pass/fail of soft offline should be judged by checking whether the
raw error page was finally contained or not (i.e. the result of
set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page()), but current code do not work like
that. It might lead us to misjudge the test result when
set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails.

Without this fix, there are cases where madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) may
not offline the original page and will not return an error.
