Subject: mm, hwpoison: do not lock page again when me_huge_page() successfully recovers

Currently me_huge_page() temporary unlocks page to perform some actions
then locks it again later.  My testcase (which calls hard-offline on some
tail page in a hugetlb, then accesses the address of the hugetlb range)
showed that page allocation code detects the page lock on buddy page and
printed out "BUG: Bad page state" message.  PG_hwpoison does not prevent
it because PG_hwpoison flag is set on any subpage of the hugetlb page but
the 2nd page lock is on the head page.

This patch suggests to drop the 2nd page lock to fix the issue.
