(mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c) modifies
__filemap_add_folio() by calling folio_ref_add(folio, nr); for all cases
(including hugtetlb) where nr is the number of pages in the folio. We
should adjust the number of references coming from the page cache by
subtracing the number of pages rather than 1.

In hugetlbfs_read_iter(), folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() is testing the wrong
flag as, in the hugetlb case, memory-failure code calls
folio_test_set_hwpoison() to indicate poison. folio_test_hwpoison() is the
correct function to test for that flag.

After these fixes, the hugetlb hwpoison read selftest passes all cases.

v1 -> v2:
move ref_count adjustment to if(extra_pins) block as that represents
ref counts from the page cache per Miaohe Lin.

IIUC, It seems than this also fix shmem of THP, because has_extra_refcount() is called
from me_pagecache_clean(), right?

if (count > 0) {
pr_err("%#lx: %s still referenced by %d users\n",
