4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi <[email protected]> commit c3901e722b2975666f42748340df798114742d6d upstream. When memory_failure() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is split, we trigger the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): page:ffffd7cd819b0040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x1 flags: 0x1fffc000400000(hwpoison) page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(p)) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /src/linux-dev/mm/memory-failure.c:1132! memory_failure() passed refcount and page lock from tail page to head page, which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to split_huge_page().
