When memory_failure() is called for a already hwpoisoned pfn,
kill_accessing_process() will be called to kill current task. However, if
the vma of the accessing vaddr is VM_PFNMAP, walk_page_range() will skip
the vma in walk_page_test() and return 0.

Before commit aaf99ac2ceb7 ("mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes
with recovered clean pages"), kill_accessing_process() will return EFAULT.
For x86, the current task will be killed in kill_me_maybe().

However, after this commit, kill_accessing_process() simplies return 0,
that means UCE is handled properly, but it doesn't actually. In such case,
the user task will trigger UCE infinitely.

To fix it, add .test_walk callback for hwpoison_walk_ops to scan all vmas.
