__get_hwpoison_page() could fail to grab refcount by some race condition, so it's helpful if we can handle it by retrying. We already have retry logic, so make get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page() when called from memory_failure(). As a result, get_hwpoison_page() can return negative values (i.e. error code), so some callers are also changed to handle error cases. soft_offline_page() does nothing for -EBUSY because that's enough and users in userspace can easily handle it. unpoison_memory() is also unchanged because it's broken and need thorough fixes (will be done later).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
