[PATCH v2 2/4] mm: memory-failure: fix potential unexpected return value from unpoison_memory()

[Miaohe Lin]

If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value
ret is expected to be -EBUSY. But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1
and fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will
be unexpected 1 leading to users being confused. And there's a code smell
that the variable "ret" is used not only to save the return value of
unpoison_memory(), but also the return value from get_hwpoison_page().
Make a further cleanup by using another auto-variable solely to save the
return value of get_hwpoison_page() as suggested by Naoya.
