Remove check_user_page_hwpoison() as it's effectively dead code. Prior to
commit 234b239bea ("kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem"),
hva_to_pfn_slow() wasn't actually a slow path in all cases, i.e. would do
get_user_pages_fast() without ever doing slow GUP with FOLL_HWPOISON.
Now that hva_to_pfn_slow() is a straight shot to get_user_pages_unlocked(),
and unconditionally passes FOLL_HWPOISON, it is impossible for hva_to_pfn()
to get an -errno that needs to be morphed to -EHWPOISON.
There are essentially four cases in KVM:
- npages == 0, then FOLL_NOWAIT, a.k.a. @async, must be true, and thus
check_user_page_hwpoison() will not be called
- npages == 1 || npages == -EHWPOISON, all good
- npages == -EINTR || npages == -EAGAIN, bail early, all good
- everything else, including -EFAULT, can go down the vma_lookup() path,
as npages < 0 means KVM went through hva_to_pfn_slow() which passes
FOLL_HWPOISON

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
