[PATCH] mm: fix panic caused by __page_handle_poison()

From: 王贇

By commit 510d25c92ec4 ("mm/hwpoison: disable pcp for
page_handle_poison()"), __page_handle_poison() was
introduced, and if we mark:

RET_A = dissolve_free_huge_page();
RET_B = take_page_off_buddy();

then __page_handle_poison was supposed to return TRUE When
RET_A == 0 && RET_B == TRUE

But since it failed to take care the case when RET_A is
-EBUSY or -ENOMEM, and just return the ret as a bool which
actually become TRUE, it break the original logical.

The following result is a huge page in freelist but was
referenced as poisoned, and lead into the final panic:

kernel BUG at mm/internal.h:95!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

RIP: 0010:set_page_refcounted mm/internal.h:95 [inline]
RIP: 0010:remove_hugetlb_page+0x23c/0x240 mm/hugetlb.c:1371
skip...
Call Trace:

hugetlb_acct_memory.part.91+0x524/0x690 mm/hugetlb.c:4017

This patch replace 'bool' with 'int' to handle RET_A correctly.
