mm/hwpoison: fix loss of PG_dirty for errors on mlocked pages
memory_failure() store the page flag of the error page before doing unmap, and (only) if the first check with page flags at the time decided the error page is unknown, it do the second check with the stored page flag since memory_failure() does unmapping of the error pages before doing page_action(). This unmapping changes the page state, especially page_remove_rmap() (called from try_to_unmap_one()) clears PG_mlocked, so page_action() can't catch mlocked pages after that. However, memory_failure() can't handle memory errors on dirty mlocked pages correctly. try_to_unmap_one will move the dirty bit from pte to the physical page, the second check lose it since it check the stored page flag. This patch fix it by restore PG_dirty flag to stored page flag if the page is dirty.
