[PATCH v1] mm: bad_page() checks bad_flags instead of page->flags for hwpoison page

[Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>]

There's a race window between checking page->flags and unpoisoning, which
taints kernel with "BUG: Bad page state". That's overkill. It's safer to
use bad_flags to detect hwpoisoned page.
