[PATCH v8 3/3] Revert "mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page compound again"

From: Naoya Horiguchi

From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

Reverts commit 888af2701db7 ("mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with
changing page compound again") because now we fetch the page refcount
under hugetlb_lock in try_memory_failure_hugetlb() so that the race
check is no longer necessary.
