Here's the patch I came up with. I'll keep it in my tree for now.

x86/HWPOISON: Move do_sigbus ifdef into header
    
Ingo asked for moving the MEMORY_FAILURE ifdef in the x86's
fault handler's do_sigbus elsewhere. This patch moves the
ifdef into mm.h by defining the HWPOISON return flags
of handle_mm_fault() to 0 if MEMORY_FAILURE is not enabled.
This way the optimizer can eliminate the code without ifdef.
