mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()
[ Upstream commit 9ab3b598d2dfbdb0153ffa7e4b1456bbff59a25d ] A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page poo= l. This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called. The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion. drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.
