6.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Miaohe Lin linmiaohe@huawei.com
commit e2c1ab070fdc81010ec44634838d24fce9ff9e53 upstream.
When page_handle_poison() fails to handle the hugepage or free page in retry path, soft_offline_page() will return 0 while -EBUSY is expected in this case.
Consequently the user will think soft_offline_page succeeds while it in fact failed. So the user will not try again later in this case.
