[RFC][PATCH v1 05/11] mm: hwpoison-inject: don't pin for hwpoison_filter()

[Naoya Horiguchi]

Another memory error injection interface debugfs:hwpoison/corrupt-pfn
also takes bogus refcount for hwpoison_filter(). It's justified
because this does a coarse filter, expecting that memory_failure()
redoes the check for sure.
