Um, no. Nobody should use folio_test_hwpoison(), it's a nonsense.

Individual pages are hwpoisoned. You're only testing the head page
if you use folio_test_hwpoison(). There's folio_has_hwpoisoned() to
test if _any_ page in the folio is poisoned. But blindly converting
PageHWPoison to folio_test_hwpoison() is wrong.

If anyone knows how to poison folio_test_hwpoison() to make it not
work, I'd appreciate it.
