------------------------------------------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi naoya.horiguchi@nec.com Subject: mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for unhandlable pages

HWPoisonHandlable() sometimes returns false for typical user pages due to races with average memory events like transfers over LRU lists. This causes failures in hwpoison handling.

There's retry code for such a case but does not work because the retry loop reaches the retry limit too quickly before the page settles down to handlable state. Let get_any_page() call shake_page() to fix it.
