[PATCH 4/4] HWPOISON: Stop shrinking at right page count

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When we call the slab shrinker to free a page we need to stop at
page count one because the caller always holds a single reference, not zero.

This avoids useless looping over slab shrinkers and freeing too much
memory.
