mm/memory-failure: report MF_MSG_KERNEL for unrecoverable kernel pages
The previous patch teaches get_any_page() to return -ENOTRECOVERABLE for
stable unhandlable kernel pages (PG_reserved, slab, page tables,
large-kmalloc). memory_failure() still folds every negative return into
MF_MSG_GET_HWPOISON, so callers that want to react to the unrecoverable
cases (a panic option, smarter logging) cannot tell them apart from
transient page-allocator races.
Turn the post-call branch into a switch over the get_hwpoison_page()
return code: map -ENOTRECOVERABLE to MF_MSG_KERNEL and any other negative
return to MF_MSG_GET_HWPOISON. case 0 keeps the existing free-buddy /
kernel-high-order handling and case 1 falls through to the rest of
memory_failure() unchanged.
The MF_MSG_KERNEL label and tracepoint string are kept as "reserved kernel
page" to avoid breaking userspace tools that match on those literals; the
enum value still adequately tags the failure even though it now also
covers slab, page tables and large-kmalloc pages.
