Thanks for working on this. I tried to exercise memory error handling for
hugetlb pages and ran into issues addressed by these patches.

There are only two places other places where PageHWPoison is modified without
the mutex. They are:
- test_and_clear_pmem_poison
I 'think' pmem error handling is done separately so this does not apply.
- clear_hwpoisoned_pages
Called before removing memory (and deleting memmap) to reconcile count
of poisoned pages. Should not be an issue and technically I do not think
the ClearPageHWPoison() is actually needed in this routine.
