mm/hwpoison: fix panic due to split huge zero page

Testcase:

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    #include <string.h>

    #define MB 1024*1024

    int main(void)
    {
            char *mem;

            posix_memalign((void **)&mem, 2 * MB, 200 * MB);

            madvise(mem, 200 * MB, MADV_HWPOISON);

            free(mem);

            return 0;
    }

Huge zero page is allocated if page fault w/o FAULT_FLAG_WRITE flag.
The get_user_pages_fast() which called in madvise_hwpoison() will get
huge zero page if the page is not allocated before.  Huge zero page is a
tranparent huge page, however, it is not an anonymous page.
memory_failure will split the huge zero page and trigger
BUG_ON(is_huge_zero_page(page));

After commit 98ed2b00 ("mm/memory-failure: give up error handling
for non-tail-refcounted thp"), memory_failure will not catch non anon
thp from madvise_hwpoison path and this bug occur.

Fix it by catching non anon thp in memory_failure in order to not split
huge zero page in madvise_hwpoison path.

After this patch:

  Injecting memory failure for page 0x202800 at 0x7fd8ae800000
  MCE: 0x202800: non anonymous thp
