If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value ret is expected to be -EBUSY. But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1 and fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will be unexpected 1 leading to users being confused. And there's a code smell that the variable "ret" is used not only to save the return value of unpoison_memory(), but also the return value from get_hwpoison_page(). Make a further cleanup by using another auto-variable solely to save the return value of get_hwpoison_page() as suggested by Naoya.

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.
