[PATCH v4 1/3] mm/hwpoison: mf_mutex for soft offline and unpoison

[Naoya Horiguchi]

From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

Originally mf_mutex is introduced to serialize multiple MCE events, but
it is not that useful to allow unpoison to run in parallel with memory_failure()
and soft offline.  So apply mf_mutex to soft offline and unpoison.
The memory failure handler and soft offline handler get simpler with this.

ChangeLog v4:
- fix type in commit description.

ChangeLog v3:
- merge with "mm/hwpoison: remove race consideration"
- update description

ChangeLog v2:
- add mutex_unlock() in "page already poisoned" path in soft_offline_page().
  (Thanks to Ding Hui)
