hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU

Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page
frames that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or
non-LRU(unknown page state).  In other word, the result of handling
either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the
return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY.

This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to
the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that
action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel",
"kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU",
especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.

: While running the mcelog test suite on 3.14 I hit the following VM_BUG_ON:
:
: soft_offline: 0x56d4: unknown non LRU page type 3ffff800008000
: page:ffffea000015b400 count:3 mapcount:2097169 mapping:          (null) index:0xffff8800056d7000
: page flags: 0x3ffff800004081(locked|slab|head)
: ------------[ cut here ]------------
: kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1495!
:
: I think what happened is that a LRU page turned into a slab page in
: parallel with offlining.  memory_failure initially tests for this case,
: but doesn't retest later after the page has been locked.

: ...
:
: I ran this patch in a loop over night with some stress plus
: the mcelog test suite running in a loop. I cannot guarantee it hit it,
: but it should have given it a good beating.
:
: The kernel survived with no messages, although the mcelog test suite
: got killed at some point because it couldn't fork anymore. Probably
: some unrelated problem.
:
: So the patch is ok for me for .16.
