Yeah, I should explicitly block attempts to MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE a
dev_pagemap page because they are never onlined. They'll never appear
on an lru and never be available via the page allocator.

I don't think we want these pages accounted in num_poisoned_pages().
We have the badblocks infrastructure in libnvdimm to track how many
errors and where they are located, and since they can be repaired via
driver actions I think we should track them separately.

unpoison_page() is only triggered via freeing pages to the page
allocator, and that never happens for dev_pagemap / ZONE_DEVICE pages.
