This patch looks good to me with some nits below.

IMHO, when HPageRawHwpUnreliable is set, we can simply free the raw_hwp_list here
to save some memory as they're not used anymore.

If the code reach here, the hugetlb page should be poisoned first time or it will return
in above "res == -EHWPOISON" case. So ClearPageHWPoison should be fine here. But this change
will do the same thing while making the code more consistent. So it should be fine. :)

Anyway, for what it worth,
