When I did memory failure tests recently, below panic occurs:

The root cause is that HWPoison flag will be set for huge_zero_page without increasing the page refcnt. But then unpoison_memory() will decrease the page refcnt unexpectedly as it appears like a successfully hwpoisoned page leading to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) when releasing huge_zero_page.
Skip unpoisoning huge_zero_page in unpoison_memory() to fix this issue. We're not prepared to unpoison huge_zero_page yet.
