mm/memory-failure: split thp earlier in memory error handling
memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split
it before doing isolation. Currently thp is split in the middle of
hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure()
wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting.
1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp,
but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In
such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for
hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().
2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with
SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1.
memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier,
which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and
thp.
