commit e37e7b0b3bd52ec4f8ab71b027bcec08f57f1b3b upstream.
When a memory error hits a tail page of a free hugepage, __page_handle_poison() is expected to be called to isolate the error in 4kB unit, but it's not called due to the outdated if-condition in memory_failure_hugetlb(). This loses the chance to isolate the error in the finer unit, so it's not optimal. Drop the condition.
This "(p != head && TestSetPageHWPoison(head)" condition is based on the old semantics of PageHWPoison on hugepage (where PG_hwpoison flag was set on the subpage), so it's not necessray any more. By getting to set PG_hwpoison on head page for hugepages, concurrent error events on different subpages in a single hugepage can be prevented by TestSetPageHWPoison(head) at the beginning of memory_failure_hugetlb(). So dropping the condition should not reopen the race window originally mentioned in commit b985194c8c0a ("hwpoison, hugetlb: lock_page/unlock_page does not match for handling a free hugepage")
