This is wrong.  You need to test the individual page for PageHWPoison()
instead of testing the folio.  I understand that this will work for
hugetlbfs pages, but for THP, it's the individual pages that get poisoned,
and folio_test_hwpoison() on a THP actually only tests the head page.

Ideas for preventing this mistake in the future gratefully received.
