[PATCH v2 5/5] mm,hwpoison: Remove stale code

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue Sep 08 2020 - 03:57:06 EST


Currently we call shake_page and then check whether the page is
Buddy because shake_page calls drain_all_pages, which sends pcp-pages
back to the buddy freelists, so we could have a chance to handle
free pages.

get_hwpoison_page already calls drain_all_pages, and we do call
get_hwpoison_page right before coming here, so we should be on
the safe side.
