(mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c) modifies
__filemap_add_folio() by calling folio_ref_add(folio, nr); for all cases
(including hugtetlb) where nr is the number of pages in the folio. We
should check if the page is not referenced by other users by checking
the page count against the number of pages rather than 1.

In hugetlbfs_read_iter(), folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() is testing the wrong
flag as, in the hugetlb case, memory-failure code calls
folio_test_set_hwpoison() to indicate poison. folio_test_hwpoison() is the
correct function to test for that flag.

After these fixes, the hugetlb hwpoison read selftest passes all cases.

the patch title is missing a fs/hugetlbfs: prefix, could this be added Andrew?
